This was one of the best books I have read! It's an autobiography of a young man who served in the KGB and persecuted Christians during the Soviet Union Era.

I was assigned to read this book way back in 6th grade. When I got about halfway through the book some parents complained to the school about the content and we were told to stop reading the book and turn it back in to our teacher. So of course this made me insatiably curious and a little pissed. I found it later and finally read it in its entirety. It's the true story of Sergei Kourdokov.

This book is written by a man who used to persecute Christians for a living in Russia before he became a Christian. It is a true story and is an amazing testimony. The writing is weak, but what do you expect from a normal guy from Russia writing in a language that is not his own. Some parts of the book were so upsetting that it was hard to keep reading, but it was well worth it.

This is an excellent book for all to read. God can find people no matter where or what they are. The young man who served with the secret police was able to hear about God through the very people he persecuted. He was dumbfounded when a old woman prayed to God to forgive him for what he was doing.

A true story of a Russian man deeply entrenched in Communist leader activities against Christians. He died a mysterious death a month after writing this book. He was only in his mid-twenties.
