Book Description

February 1, 1997
Father Walter Ciszek, S.J., author of the best-selling He Leadeth Me, tells here the gripping, astounding story of his twenty-three years in Russian prison camps in Siberia, how he was falsely imprisoned as an "American spy", the incredible rigors of daily life as a prisoner, and his extraordinary faith in God and commitment to his priestly vows and vocation. He said Mass under cover, in constant danger of death. He heard confession of hundreds who could have betrayed him; he aided spiritually many who could have gained by exposing him.

This is a remarkable story of personal experience. It would be difficult to write fiction that could honestly portray the heroic patience, endurance, fortitude and complete trust in God lived by Fr. Walter Ciszek, S.J.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great witness to the power of God's providence, April 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: With God in Russia (Paperback)
This book really shows how faith gives meaning ti life even in the most exteme circumstances. Fr Ciszek humbly tells his story of how his trust in God's providence brought him through terrible experiences so that he could witness to God in a land ruled by an atheistic government. As Fr Ciszek admits - this is just the story. It should be read together with his other book 'He leadeth me' to understand more fully Fr Ciszek's faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Life Story, July 27, 2000
By 
Brian Dranzik (Chicora, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With God in Russia (Paperback)
I read this book back in 1987 while a patient in a local Veteran's Hospital. A priest had stopped in to visit and offered it to me for something to pass the time. It was one of those books that once you started to read it, you couldn't put it down. I read the book in a week, and it really touched me as to the testament of a person's faith in a time of struggle. I regard it as an honor to of been afforded the opportunity to of been given this book to read in a time of need.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring journey towards acceptance of God's Will, June 21, 1999
This review is from: With God in Russia (Paperback)
Father Ciszek portrays the nightmare disruption the Nazis and Communist caused in the lives of Catholics, Christians and Jews. A convicted "Vatican Spy", Father Ciszek spent the majority of his adult life abused, demeaned and nearly killed in Soviet labor camps. Despite these hardships, the book is uplifting, heartwarming and exceedingly inspirational. This book will help anyone facing the hardships of life. The companion book "He Leadeth Me" is a must read to understand the grace and strength Father Ciszek received from his Catholic religion.
