Underground Church Revealed by George W Cornell
Sabrina Wurmbrand, 58, and her husband Rev Richard Wurmbrand, 62, who fled Romania, run Jesus to the Communist World Inc. from Glendale Calif. They describe a vast Soviet underground church that smuggles religious materials and supports families jailed for faith. They report about one million Christians and Jews imprisoned in the Soviet Union and tens of thousands in China for religious reasons. The couple, converts to Christianity and members of the American Lutheran Church, recount years of imprisonment and say the underground movement evangelizes, distributes literature, and holds meetings despite Soviet restrictions.
