Reading this book sent shock waves down my spine. I usually don't upset very easily, but what the communist would do to innocent Christian people is so cruel it will make you sick. I loved to see this young man, Sergei, come to know Christ after all the atrocities he did. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that he has problems in life. This will make you think twice before complaining about anything.

Every time I read this book, I cry. I don't read it often because it shakes me up too badly. It makes you count your blessings. If you're feeling sorry for yourself over most any Western-level problem, Sergei's story is effective therapy! If you want a realistic view of life under communism, here it is. A must-read for those "enemies of the State" knows as "believers".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Piece of True Literature, February 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Persecutor (Hardcover)

"The Persecutor" was one of the best books I have ever read! Totally outstanding detail that kept me going page after page. From his childhood, to him escaping to Cananda, Sergei Kourdokov took you on a trip to Russia, were life is hard and only the strong survive. This story was not only suspensful, but very moving and tragic. I recommend this book for those seeking spiritual revival or just to have a book to read again and again!
