\u201cOften, we think about persecuted Christians as if they do not suffer pain or doubt,\u201d representative Foley says.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>But\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Tortured for Christ<\/span><\/span>\u00a0reminds us that persecuted Christians are just as human as we are. When they are imprisoned, they struggle with their faith, cry out for their wives, and miss their children.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is why he wrote the book\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Tortured for Christ,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>which became a best-seller in more than 60 languages and is now a movie earning rave reviews around the world. <\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9423″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/vomkorea.com\/product\/tortured-for-christ-kor\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe book gave the world a glimpse at what persecution was like for Christians,\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

says Foley. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to what people might expect, there were actually moments of joy and laughter in prison.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

But there were also moments of agony. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne scene in the movie shows Pastor Wurmbrand in solitary confinement, where he spent three years,\u201d says Foley. \u201cHe cries out his wife\u2019s name. It is a very moving scene which reminds us that even Christianity\u2019s greatest saints were also human beings.”<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>One of the most impactful scenes which is actually a true story shows the prisoners sharing the Lord\u2019s Supper and humming a song, using their prison chains as musical instruments. We translated that prison song into Korean and gathered volunteers together to sing it, also using chains. Movie viewers can see that video and hear the Korean song at the end of the movie.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
