This powerful memoir is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of faith in the face of unimaginable adversity.

A Life of Faith and Persecution

Richard Wurmbrand was born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1909. He was raised in a Christian home and became a follower of Jesus Christ at a young age. In the 1930s, Wurmbrand began to preach the gospel in Romania, which was then under the rule of a communist regime. Despite the danger, Wurmbrand continued to preach, and he soon became a leader of the underground church in Romania.

In 1948, Wurmbrand was arrested by the communist secret police and sentenced to fourteen years in prison. During his time in prison, Wurmbrand was subjected to horrific torture and abuse. He was beaten, starved, and kept in solitary confinement for months at a time. Despite the suffering he endured, Wurmbrand never gave up his faith in Christ. He continued to preach the gospel to his fellow prisoners, and he even wrote several books while in prison.

A Legacy of Faith and Hope

In 1964, Wurmbrand was released from prison and allowed to leave Romania. He settled in the United States, where he continued to preach and write about his experiences. Wurmbrand became a powerful advocate for religious freedom and a voice for the persecuted church around the world. He founded the Voice of the Martyrs, an organization that provides aid to persecuted Christians.

Richard Wurmbrand died in 2001, but his legacy continues to inspire Christians around the world. His memoir, "Tortured for Christ," is a powerful reminder of the cost of discipleship and the triumph of faith over suffering.
