Book review
Tortured For CHRIST
By Richard Wurmbrand
This book is an instrument and a tremendous blessing to all who read it. I just recently
re-read it through tearful eyes, and I came to a conclusion that it is a wake up call for all Christians especially those in the West, which is ultimately America. Pastor Richard Wurmbrand speaks out about the underground church and their sufferings. His passion is clear; first to proclaim CHRIST no matter the cost and second to help the underground church.
When reading this book a constant theme inspires the reader in the form of a question. Are we willing to die for what we believe as Christians? This book brings out the true essence of a Christian martyr; a human being this is willing to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ no matter the cost, even unto torture and physical death.
Tortured for CHRIST gives testimony after testimony of the love of God triumphing over evil and sin. The Christians of the underground church are willing to bring that love of God even to a savage beast Communism & Atheism.
Readers, there is a challenge here: We need to help lift the burden of the underground church. Let's help them!

PERSONAL TESTIMONY I once heard Pastor Wurmbrand on the local Christian radio station here in Central Florida. It was a few years ago and the only time I had ever heard him speak.. I don't remember the name of the radio program but it was in the middle of the day and I was driving my car. When I heard Pastor Wurmbrand begin to speak, I had to pull my car over to the side of the road until the broadcast was over. The anointing was so powerful that I could not drive. A strong sense of reverence engulfed me and as I listened I found myself weeping. As Pastor Wurmbrand spoke I will never forget the power of God and His consuming presence filling my car. I truly believe that God has a very special place for him in heaven and all those martyrs of the persecuted church. |
