The truth of this story is compelling and convicting. The parallels in the Western journey pale in comparison and will embarrass the sincere seeker who might think they have it tough. We easily refer to words like torture and deprivation that relate more to an overgrown garden than the realities of Wurmbrand and the underground church. He exposes the “comfortable pew.” Well worth my interest and yours.

From the Publisher
"Just as Christians in Russia created an Underground Church after their revolution, the coming to power of communism and the betrayal by many official church leaders compelled us to likewise create in Romania an Underground Church: one faithful to evangelize, preach the gospel, and reach children for Christ. "
-Richard Wurmbrand, from Tortured for Christ.
Tortured for Christ: 50th Anniversary Edition
“If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you” ~John 15:20
A timeless and bestselling account of courage, tenacious faith, and unbelievable endurance and forgiveness, this enhanced 50th anniversary edition of Tortured for Christ will inspire believers around the world.
Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years in underground prison cells, months in solitary confinement, and years of physical torture. His only crimes were his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness for that faith. Richard Wurmbrand exposed the persecution of Christians by atheistic Communist governments—his testimony shocked the Western world.
With over 10 million copies in 60 languages, this is an inspiring true story of faith that every Christian should read.
In addition to the classic story, this 50th anniversary edition features:
- A foreword by George Verwer and Dale Rhoton, founders of Operation Mobilization
- An introduction by Merv Knight, a Wurmbrand historian
- An updated epilogue by The Voice of the Martyrs
- Photographs of Richard and his wife, Sabina
- An excerpt of Richard’s testimony at a US Senate Subcommittee Hearing
About the Author
Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, whose body bore the scars of 14 years of torture and suffering for Christ in a Communist prison, witnessed the indomitable courage and persistent faith of persecuted Christian believers. Following his release from prison, he devoted his life to being a voice for persecuted Christians so others in the body of Christ might serve them and be inspired by their examples of bold faith.

About the author
An incredible book that is truly sobering and eye opening!
I ordered this book after watching the movie. Highly recommended and easy read! The lettering is bigger then most books I’ve read which makes it a fast easy read in addition to the vocabulary used. The book was delivered in a timely manner and secure packaging. The book itself goes into some gruesome details about what the author had went through before being part of the underground church, during, and after he was captured and imprisoned. It goes into quite and amount of detail of what he went through after becoming imprisoned but not fully in depth of what he and others had to endure. It’s truly eye opening to what Christians are still enduring in the world today, nearly 80 years later, for the name of Jesus Christ 🙏
