Zusammenfassung:"The past century witnessed the greatest persecution of Christians in all of history. But the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church, and great heroes of the faith emerged. One such hero is Fr Roman Braga (1022-2015). He suffered the unimaginable cruelty of Romanian Communist prisons, yet through this suffering he was purified and discovered the kingdom of heaven within himself (Lk 17.21). Dr Daniel Hinshaw, one of his spiritual children, traces the story of his life from his youth through his involement in the Burning Bush movement, to his imprisonment and suffering under the communist regime, to his later life in the west and his final years here in the United States. In this powerful story that unfolded on three continents, Christ's all-comquering love was manifest in Fr Roman, who endured great evil and torture, yet without bitterness or rancor, responding to hatred and cruelty with love and forgiveness. He became a spritual father who conveyed the love and grace of Christ to those who sought his counsel. We have much to learn from his life and teaching. This book is an invitation for others to encounter the life and wisdom of this humble servant of God." --
