With God in Russia

Father Walter Ciszek, S.J., author of the best-selling He Leadeth Me, tells the gripping, astounding story of his twenty-three years in Russian prison camps in Siberia, how he was falsely imprisoned as an "American spy", the incredible rigors of daily life as a prisoner, and his extraordinary faith in God and commitment to his priestly vows and vocation. He said Mass under cover, in constant danger of death. He heard confession of hundreds who could have betrayed him; he aided spiritually many who could have gained by exposing him. This is a remarkable story of personal experience. It would be difficult to write fiction that could honestly portray the heroic patience, endurance, fortitude and complete trust in God lived by Fr. Walter Ciszek. 

He Leadeth Me: An Extraordinary Testament of Faith

He Leadeth Me is the deeply moving personal story of one man's spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survive the horrendous ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse.

Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a Vatican spy, American Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent some 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. He here recalls how it was only through an utter reliance on God's will that he managed to endure. He tells of the courage he found in prayer-a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustrations, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the "arrogance of evil" that surrounded him. Learning to accept even the inhuman work of toiling in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God, he was able to turn adverse forces into a source of positive value and a means of drawing closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit.

He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God-even in their darkest hour.

Reviews

I’ve purchased these two wonderful

"I’ve purchased these two wonderful books to share with my friends. I’d already read them when 2 separate priests from 2 different churches talked about them during their sermons and recommended them to their congregation. I decided I need to reread both! Great story of faith and perseverance."

— PEGGY M. (5/5)

Excellent Read

"I am halfway through With God in Russia and am amazed at the courage and faith of Father Ciszek. Through all of his suffering and trials he still put his ""parish"" first, tending to their needs. What an inspiration. I look forward to reading He Leadeth Me. Thank you, Fr Mike for recommending the book"

With God in Russia

"Incredibly inspiring! Not just a fascinating true story, but relatable to trusting God under any and all circumstances."

— JOYCE S. (5/5)

With God in Russia

"It is so inspiring to read about a real person and how he/she deals with everyday life difficulties. Of cours, being in prison in Urssia is much more than ""difficulties"". But with God, we can accomplish anything and he even kept his sense of humor. This helps a person also realize that having to wait in a long line for your latte is hardly worth getting upset about and certainly can help a person be thankful that he/she does not even have to get out of the car to have someone else make your morning brew! There is a lot in this book for us in this day and age to help us become closer to God."

— Billie (5/5)

Indeed this narrative proves that

"Indeed this narrative proves that God is true to His promise to us when we will decide to say yes and to pick up our cross and deeply believe that our God is always with us all the way whether we have a hint or not where He will lead us to. It’s always Gods plan for each of us."

— Jocelyn L. (5/5)

Joy

"Wow! first of all what a great book ""He Leadeth Me"". I gleaned many great points from this book. It will stay in my collection to read again. I am not quite halfway through ""With God in Russia"", having a heads up about the times that Father Walter endured during his years in Russia from ""He Leadeth Me"". But my heart aches for all that he endured. I don't know if I would be able to endure the trails that he did. I cannot read for too long as I almost feel what he went through. Thank you for these two books."

— Barbara A. (5/5)

Wonderful

"I can’t wait to read these in their entirety. I’m going to add With God in Russia to my homeschool curriculum."
