With God, For the People

Today I finished the most inspirational book that I want all of you to experience the joy of!! It's called With God, For the People. It's the autobiography of Laszlo Tokes, "the man who sparked the Romanian Revolution." But don't think that it's just my peculiar zeal for Romania that makes me love this book so much--I really think all Christians would like this book, even if they don't have an interest or investment in Romania's history. Laszlo Tokes is a pastor who fought against corruption all through Ceauşescu's reign, and continuously and courageously fought for the causes of Christianity. And his efforts eventually led to the overthrow of Ceauşescu. It's an amazingly beautiful story. Similar to The Hiding Place (another book I highly recommend). But I'd say it's a little bit of a quicker read than The Hiding Place was. Anyway, I don't think it's a very popular book, so it may not be in your city's library, but I'd say it's worth the few bucks of buying it off half.com if it isn't. It is told by David Porter.
