Tortured for Christ

I once heard a pastor ask: If Christianity ever became illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you? This story really puts that question in perspective! I look at people today, myself included, and wonder how many would have what it takes to withstand what these people went through.

"Thank You" to Mr. Wurmbrand for documenting/sharing his experience.

Being a Christian, I'm usually not a fan of Christian movies due to subpar acting and shallow storytelling. However, this dramatized documentary is an exception. Refreshingly gritty, unapologetically faith-filled and at times bloody, it tells the story of those who sacrificed themselves to spread the love of the God whom they worshiped and experienced intimately. They testify of their savior, Jesus, in whom they unwavering trust even in the midst of horrific torture. Now this is faith!

A movie difficult to watch. Difficult in the sense of hard to swallow amid the cruelties. But truly inspirational - obviously not in the sense to repeat such a tragic story, but to be steadfast in the ordinary life of a Christian and the small things of life.

It is also refreshing to read through the book of the same name a story which is not saturated with half-lies or made-up anecdotes.

It would be an excellent movie if the producer would not have partly ruined it, by inserting at the end music from Calvinists (The Gettys) and composing the hall-of-fame of martyrs almost exclusively of Orthodox monks and priests. When it comes to sufferings for CHRISTOS, we should focus on CHRISTOS and not on divisions / denominations.

Quote of the movie: "There are two kinds of Christians: Those who sincerely believe in G-d and those that, just as sincerely, believe that they believe in G-d."

Hope everyone goes to see this! Powerful! Excited to see this amazing book come to life in this film. Help spread the word.

Such a powerful movie and really well done. No cheesy evangelical Christian stuff here. The movie really did justice to the story
