The Pastor's Wife [Paperback]

Sabina Wurmbrand (Author), Charles Foley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1979 | ISBN-10: 0882640003 | ISBN-13: 978-0340160022

In 1949, when Soviet propaganda was asserting that free Christian worship was being tolerated behind the Iron Curtain, the Communists arrested Pastor Richard Wurmbrand in Romania for secret Christian activities.

The Pastor’s Wife is Sabina Wurmbrand’s true story of her efforts to get her husband released, her subsequent imprisonment and, above all, her unceasing efforts to help build a Christian Underground Church in restricted areas around the world.

For the truth is that the Communists to this day cannot tolerate genuine Christianity, and are still executing or imprisoning underground Christians. This is the urgent message of The Pastor’s Wife.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life., March 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pastor's Wife (Paperback)

When I was 14, I met Sabina Wurmbrand when she and her husband came to my church. There were flocks of people around but she looked through them and came to me and smiled her wonderful sweet smile and said "You will be a wonderful woman of God." Her book is just like that. It breaks through the crowd and clamor of life and brings you to a place where God is personal and real. The story is vivid in its detail of what she and the other women experienced and how they dealt with them. It is the story of a miraculous life and worth reading!

This review is from: The Pastor's Wife (Paperback)

Sabina Wurmbrand is often overshadowed by her famous husband, Richard, who is a great man of God. This book is a tale of her suffering and perseverance in an atheist society. I read this book when I was sixteen, but did not fully appreciate it until I reread it in my twenties. She is a wonderful woman and model of the love and forgiveness of God. I would suggest this book to anybody, even non-Christians. She loved in impossible situations and was truly a woman after God's own heart.

This review is from: The Pastor's Wife (Paperback)

Sabina Wurmbrand's book, The Pastor's Wife should be read by every believer. She suffered so much under the communists and Nazi's and never held on to any bitterness but only loved back like her Messiah. Knowing Sabina in her older years changed my life forever. It is because of her encouraging me to "take an orphan in" over and over again led us to adopt our daughter from China. Her strength and humility are woven throughout this book. I could not put this book down... I also encourage you to read this with "In God's Underground" written by her dear husband Pastor Richard Wurmbrand.
