This is an outstanding collection of stories of ordinary people enduring persecution for their faith under communistic rule in eastern Europe. The stories take place from 1945 until as late as 1989. We found the book especially interesting as the stories were written from the perspective of being behind the Berlin wall in the former Soviet Union. It did reveal somewhat how communistic governments and parties operate, and also how some people viewed western countries and longed for their freedom. It also demonstrated how adversity will strengthen our faith and trust in God. There are stories of young teenagers coming to know God, and willing to go to prison and die for their faith in Jesus. A high point of the book was that it focused on everyday people such as farmers, carpenters and factory workers. We can live for God and take a stand for our faith no matter what our circumstances or occupation. There are some graphic details, so we would recommend it for older teens or adults. Inspirational and spiritually refreshing!
