My friend lent me this book. It's very short and I got through it in just a day - but man. I had no idea so much emotion could be felt with so few pages. Stories of suffering due to one's faith are usually heart-wrenching. Especially when I carry the same faith. I like to think I would be this strong if I ever found myself in that situation. Helen, is one outstanding woman in faith. Her love for God and her intense connection with Him, is something I will always aspire to and hope to achieve one day.
'A true story about faith and persecution in Eritrea. The story of Helen Berhane, held captive for over two years in appalling conditions in her native Eritrea. Her crime? Sharing her faith in Jesus, and refusing, even though horrendously tortured, to deny him.'
I gave this one 4/5. I do recommend this to anyone who is feeling like they need something like this ... Sometimes, we all need to hear about the strength of someone else's faith to see that it's possible for us to also be that strong.
