I just finished the book Beyond the Wall. Wow! In it I got acquainted with folks like Piotre, Frank, Anton, and Josef, all of whom have truly suffered for their faith. Beyond the Wall tells the story of the beginning of the Eastern European Bible Mission. It relates vividly how the Communist philosophy has tried to stamp our religion throughout the Eastern European Communist nations. Chapter IV started out like this:
"Students, can anyone tell me the names of the first people on earth?"
"Adam and Eve, Comrade Teacher," said young Ivan.
"Good, Ivan. And where did they live?"
"They must have lived in Russia," Ivan replied.
"Why do you think they lived in Russia?" the teacher asked in surprise.
"Simple, Comrade Teacher," Ivan replied. "They had no house, no clothes, but one apple for the two of them--and they called it paradise!"
Eastern European Bible Mission is now called New Hope Mission. Check them out on the internet! Read the book! It will change your life! It has mine - I'll never take anything for granted again, especially the freedom I have to worship and serve God!
