A pastor living in the Soviet Union, Nickolai Panchuk struggled, as a prisoner of the KGB, to find his purpose. Persecuted for his Christian faith, Nickolai remained in a Siberian prison camp for eight long years, refusing to sacrifice his faith and suffering the consequences for not giving up his fellow believers. Harassed, beaten, dejected, and at his wits’ end, Nickolai found hope in the unlikeliest source: an old ox names Maksim.
With the help and strength of God, Nickolai and Maksim worked together to perform a weekly miracle — witnessing for Christ in the most disparaging of circumstances and winning souls along the way.
In Bibles for Breakfast, meet Alexander and Natasha, a young couple struggling to find meaning in life. God brings Leonid, a secret Christian book salesman, into their lives. Leonid gives them a Bible and leaves a whole box of precious books in their keeping. Find out what happens when their dogs eat the books for breakfast!
Bread From Heaven tells the story of Pastor Sergei Petrovich of Moldova, who is arrested by the KGB for illegal religious activities. Interrogated, beaten, and finally imprisoned as a criminal in a maximum-security prison, the warden thought to make an example of Sergei and sent him to solitary confinement with no food until Sergei should change his mind about God. “If your God is so strong, let Him bring you bread Himself!” exclaimed the warden. The story of God’s bread delivery system and how Pastor Sergei used the opportunity to reach the hardened heart of the warden will bring a smile to your face and tears to your eyes.
The Seventh Day Ox and Other Miracle Stories From Russia describes the faithfulness of Christians during times of persecution and the animals that were used by God to help them. Against all odds, each of these witnesses placed their trust in God and demonstrated unbroken commitment to their faith — no matter the cost.
