Months of solitary confinement. Over 20 years in Soviet labor camps and Siberian salt mines... ...all for being an American Catholic priest in the Soviet Union. This is the true story of Fr. Walter Cizsek. | | Walter Cizsek was a juvenile delinquent, a "tough guy," and a merciless bully. No one could control him—not his mother, father, priests, teachers...not even the police. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, he converted. And not only did he find God...he became a Catholic priest. Whose job was to infiltrate Russia at the height of Soviet power. But, during his missionary work, he was arrested and sentenced to work in a Gulag for decades. | | But this is not just the story of how Fr. Walter Cizsek survived the Russian Gulag... ... this is the story of how he spread the Gospel in the most dire of circumstances. This is how he encountered God even in the hardest of conditions. This is how Fr. Walter Cizsek was with God in Russia. | | "...the great story of spirit and courage, written by the Catholic priest who literally disappeared after being taken prisoner in Russia." —Catholic Sentinel "His integrity and his religious faith light up his sturdy account of what he endured and his report on what he saw, an American prisoner's view of the Soviet Union." —New York Post "More than a superbly interesting adventure story, With God in Russia is a moving document of a man's faith in his God and his God's goodness in allowing him to live through his ordeal." —The Advocate | | With God In Russia is the unforgettable true story that reads like a thriller as Fr. Ciszek recounts the details of life in Russia firsthand. He speaks candidly about the interrogation tactics his captors used, the harsh conditions of snow in Siberia, and the long hours of strenuous forced labor. | | He shares what it was like to celebrate Mass in secret and risk hearing the confessions of those who might betray his identity as a priest. Fr. Ciszek unpretentiously shares: - How God struck his heart with the desire to minister in Russia early in formation
- The slow unfolding of events that lead to his captivity
- How his Faith was tested and God provided him with the grace of perseverance
- How he found himself preparing for death during a prison riot
- How a prisoner exchange under President John F. Kennedy brought him back to the United States
- …and more!
Fr. Ciszek's endurance—physically and spiritually— is a vivid testament to God's Providence...and one that can't captured fully in just one book. | | In his second book, He Leadeth Me, Fr. Ciszek explains how he learned complete dependence on God through his daily experiences of exhaustion, isolation, and poverty. In Fr. Ciszek's own words: "What can ultimately trouble a soul that accepts every moment of every day as a gift from the hands of God and strives always to do His will?" Read Fr. Ciszek's thrilling story and find peace in knowing that each day is a chance for you to grow closer to God...no matter where you are or what happens. This remarkable book set is on sale…but only for a limited time. | | $33.99 Exclusive Set Price Only $30.59 | | | | |
