Extremely Positive Despite Horrifying Circumstances July 25, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book exemplifies the requisition for Christians to submit completely and without reservation to Jesus Christ. Popov was blessed with physical manifestations of Jesus during his darkest hour. His experiences after 13 consecutive years of torture, fear and starvation enabled him to proclaim this period of his life as an experience he would not trade, and without hesitation, to declare it was all worth it. To walk out of the Bulgarian Communist prison system after 13 years, recounting the countless men who came to Christ and went on to be with the Lord, Popov has said it was indeed worth every moment of suffering he was priviledged to endure. This is truly a special man and a wonderful book to read again and again.

This has to be the best book I have ever read. It is very moving. It is hard to imagine how many things the author lived through for Christ. I recommend this book.
Harrowing yet dramatic story of faith in Christ! December 1, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read this book and couldn't put it down, nor could I get the images out of my head. Some of the details are horrific and the atrocities that this man suffered for his faith in Christ are terrifying. What is more amazing is how he found the courage to endure when most mortals would have given up altogether. I have always been encouraged and inspired when reading books like this, a testimony to the power of God in a life given over in humble obedience to Him. A beautiful, triumphant little book!
 A moving, yet horrifying account of one man's determination April 25, 1999

I just read this book recently, and though it was written in the late sixties, its message is still stirring. Haralan, a pastor in Bulgaria, was taken from his home in the middle of the night and taken to jail. He recounts many of the horrors of the brainwashing process, sleep deprivation, starvation, and imprisonments during the Communist regime. He continued to find opportunities to talk to other prisoners about God's work of salvation. Haralan comes across as a humble man, serving God in each circumstance with grace for each day delivered by the God he served and worshipped. This account is very moving, and I would encourage you to read it for yourself. You will appreciate the freedom you take for granted. I was deeply moved and convicted.
A convicting account of iron clad faith June 3, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Haralan Popov tells of his kidnapping (arrest)and the torture the Communists subjected him to. From being shut in a dark, damp underground cell to being forced to stand in front of a glaring white wall motionless for two weeks straight to forced labor his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ carried him through his sufferings. While he was in prison, Popov ministered to his fellow inmates and became their pastor. When he was finally released, Popov was a spiritual giant. I recommend this book as it clearly illustrates how persecution hones the faith of those who truly trust in the Lord.
