Jane: Las vivencias de este Jesuita son muy útiles para aprender a reaccionar ante las tentaciones que nos acosan para condenar nuestra alma durante toda nuestra vida, en todo momento y en todo lugar. El único objerivo del diablo es conseguir que nos condenemos para vengarse de Dios que nos ama hasta el extremo de no condenarnos. Cada uno es responsable de su propia condenación, Dios perdona mientras quede un suspiro de vida. Del infierno no hay salida, es tortura perpetua que no acaba. La muerte acaba con las oportunidades para arrepentirse. Gloria y alabanza a ti Señor por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Martha M.: I can honestly say it was a good read but would not read again and not because it was bad but because it felt boring at times

nathannathan: I see a lot of hand-wringing over mental issues by the same music community that goes out of it’s way to attack organized religion. Maybe some can see this book review, read the book, and take a second look at how an individual not only survived, but grew spiritually when confronted by some of the most brutal physical and psychological conditions imaginable.

In picking up this book I thought to myself “I’m not sure what I have to learn from this as thankfully my life is the opposite of a Soviet Gulag in nearly every way.” Surprisingly, I was able to relate to the many challenges, both internal and external that Ciszek faced throughout the book.a

Before he is even shipped off to solitary confinement for some 5 years, Ciszek describes the general attitude towards organized religion in the USSR by both the government and the people. The criticisms of the Church were nearly identical to what I hear on a daily basis here and now. Cheap accusations like “Christianity is irrational,” “the Church is corrupt,” “the Church is decadent” etc. It is worth noting that religion was never banned in the USSR. However, it was illegal to evangelize, and public...

Jane Erye: In a day of easy everything...many expect a life of faith to be the same.
Walter Ciszek is someone whose faith was forged out of the furnace of suffering. He suffered for the faith he held dear. Nothing was easy in the maturing of his faith in God.
I found Ciszek to be reflective, sincere, profoundly honest and truthful with himself and with his readers.
It's a book I would recommend to anyone to read.
People of faith would definitely benefit from reading it.
I found Ciszek'a descriptions of his experiences quite surprising as I could see that we in the West are living in the exact same social political climate as Communist Russia only we are Capitalists.
The propaganda and indoctrination of atheism in our country is virtually the same. The only difference, our governments haven't reached the point of imprisoning faith based people because their faith in God contradicts and resists the atheistic political social agenda. It is a great book to learn about the period of Communist Russia's history from a human perspective.
