Amazing tale of the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia and his subsequent imprisonment solely for his desire to remain faithful to Christ in spite of its consequences.
He suffered torture and lost of his pastoral license as well as all his money. Even after being released from prison, the authorities (especially those ruling the Lutheran church, there at the time) would not alllow him to assume his pastoral office again.
What is special though is this man's faithful confession to Christ, and so the Lord continues to use him to minister to people in their time of need. Shortly after the overthrow of the Communists, the church chooses this man to be their bishop.
This is a good read and makes one wonder how we would do in similar circumstances.
