Before communism fell in Eastern Europe, Christians were often arrested and kept in prisons or labor camps where the Communists went to great lengths to break their faith. This is the story of a family whose faith endured.

Born in Romania, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand became Christians after they were married. They soon began sharing the Gospel, even though it was prohibited. In 1945, Richard stood up publicly and proclaimed Christ while speaking out against communism. This bold move, as well as his work in the underground church, led to the Wurmbrands imprisonment by the Communist government. Richard and Sabina endured unthinkable horror at the hands of the Communists, but their faith and witness was only strengthened, even through multiple imprisonments.

After being ransomed out of Romania, the Wurmbrands dedicated themselves to helping the world understand the horrors that were occurring behind the iron curtain. They began a ministry now known as The Voice of the Martyrs, to bring awareness to the persecution of Christians. Their legacy lives on through the work they began and the many lives they touched.

Hear their incredible story through Richards and Sabinas own voices and interviews with their son Mihai. Rare film footage and photos are included, from the archives of The Voice of the Martyrs and the Wurmbrand family.

I think the misspelling might be a typo.

I loved Sabina's book. There were points when I was reading it, when she would talk about her devotion to Richard, that I would suddenly start gushing, "How romantic!" Which isn't like me. At all. That's how touching her testimony is.

wasn't her name 'Sabina'?

The first Christian book I got out of the public library after I became a Christian in '82 was 'The Pastor's Wife' by Sabina Wurmbrand.

What they suffered is so hard to read, especially now I have children.
