The Overcomers

This is a collection of

true stories of many heroes of the faith from all over the world who have suffered for Christ. Especially disturbing are the descriptions of the prison lives of the martyrs of Communist Russia. It is so important that we, who live such comparatively sheltered existences remember those who have given their lives for Christ even though the Iron Curtain is now longer. Perhaps this book will encourage us to turn our attention to the many other countries where spread of the Gospel is prohibited, such as China and Albania. Wurmbrand, who himself has spent many years in communist prisons for his beliefs, has written a number of books about his experiences and the outlook he acquired behind bars when his faith was being tested the most.
