Tortured for His Faith by Haralan Popov and published by Classics.
Born in Bulgaria, a land called “Little Russia,” Haralan Popov was the pastor of the largest Protestant church in the nation, and was one of his country’s foremost spiritual leaders. After the Communist occupation of Bulgaria, his very prominence as a devoted Christian brought him severe physical and spiritual torture at the hands of the Soviet KGB and their Bulgarian puppets.
In 16 different prisons and slave camps, Pastor Popov continued his work for God despite the suffering he knew he might have to endure. After the miracle of surviving 13 years and 2 months in Communist prisons, he was finally released. Despite threats of re-arrest, he continued organizing secret church services and Bible teachings because the official church had been infiltrated and had fallen under total Communist control.
Later, with the help of his family living in Sweden and many praying Christians, he was miraculously given permission to reunite with them after 15 years of separation. From there he focussed all his energy to awaken society to the plight and the needs of imprisoned Christians suffering for their faith.
