I have just finished rereading Richard Wurmbrand's book "Tortured for Christ". He was imprisoned for his faith for a total of 14 years in Rumania, while it was still under communist rule. Both Graeme and I met him when he visited South Africa in the 1970's. He left a big impression on me.
Although imprisonment and torture for their faith is not as severe in communistic countries as it was towards the end of the 1900's, it is still being practised in other lands. I don't think that we western Christians, with our love for ease and comfort, can come close to appreciating Christ like the "suffering church" does.
