In God's Underground

I just finished reading In God's Underground, by Richard Wurmbrand. My friend Mary Wills recommended it to me, and it was a good read. The book is about a pastor in Romania around the 1940's-1960's who is imprisoned under the new Communist regime for not pledging allegiance to the state and for preaching about Christ. He was imprisoned for 15 of the 20 years the book covers. 

Mr. Wurmbrand suffered a great deal of torture, and describes what a mess the Communist system is. But he persevered and used his time in prison to witness to other inmates, particularly the communists who were atheists. There is a good bit of practical advice, common sense, and helpful apologetics in the book, and it is a great story. I recommend reading it.
