Tortured for Christ

We just went to see this movie, and I have to say that although it's graphic, it barely depicts the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the suffering of Christians under the Communist regimes past and present. Those living in free democratic countries need to see this to be conscious of what "freedom" actually is like when God is out of the equation.

"I have found truly joyful Christians in only three places: the Bible, in the Underground Church, and in prison." There is a living faith that enabled them, "to kiss their prison bars and rejoice in the fellowship of Christ's suffering." R. Wurmbrand

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.

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

No doubt about it, Christianity and other religions or any kind of philosophy says that there's something beyond the material world had a bad time during the years of the Soviet Union. Tortured For Christ is based on the experiences and writings of Richard Wurmbrand who spent years in a Romanian prison for doing evangelical work in his country.

His experiences in a way parallel Nelson Mandela's in his country. The documentary is done and narrated with sincerity and reverence.

Should be seen in more than church basements.
