Why do Christians suffer extreme persecution without faltering in their faith? How do they endure the physical and emotional duress, emerging so often to serve Jesus with greater vitality and joy?Treasures From the Fire introduces us to twenty-five such saints who tell us, in their own words, why they willingly suffered the Communist prisons of Romania rather than renounce Christ and how they endured their Soviet-era imprisonments.
