About the Author

RICHARD WURMBRAND (1909 - 2001) endured 14 years of prison in Communist Romania for his Christian witness. His wife, Sabina (1913 - 2000), spent three years in prison for her faith. After Richard and Sabina left Romania, they founded The Voice of the Martyrs in 1967 to aid families of imprisoned Christians in Communist nations and other countries where Christians are persecuted for their faith.

Editorial Reviews

Countless Christians have read this well-known book about the persecution of Christians in Communist Romania. Many more haven’t read it but have it sitting on their shelf in hopes of reading it someday. Thankfully, Alex Rotaru has expertly recorded this modern classic so that everyone can now ‘read’ while they walk or drive. Rotaru’s tempo and pace genuinely reflect the gravity and conviction of the author. It’s as if the listener is sitting at the feet of Reverand Wurmbrand being regaled by stories of his underground church. As Rotaru’s voice quiets at key points, you almost expect the police to bust through the door and cart you away. The listener will remain engaged emotionally and mentally throughout this account of Christian courage.”

I welcome this new edition of Tortured for Christ and pray that its story will shake many twenty-first-century Christians out of their complacency towards those who around the world today are still tortured for their Christian witness.”

This book was singularly instrumental in awaking the conscience of the free world to the horrors experienced by our brothers and sisters behind the Iron Curtain. I remember reading the book many years ago and being deeply moved and convicted. Millions of others were as well.”
