With God in Russia: The Inspiring Classic Account of a Catholic Priest’s Twenty-Three Years in Soviet Prisons and Labor Camps
With God in Russia is the remarkable true story of Fr Walter J. Ciszek, a Jesuit priest who spent twenty-three years imprisoned in Soviet prisons, labour camps, and exile while secretly carrying out his priestly mission under one of the most oppressive regimes of the twentieth century. Co-written with Daniel L. Flaherty, this powerful memoir offers a moving testimony of faith, courage, endurance, and unwavering trust in God amidst suffering and persecution.
After entering the Soviet Union as a missionary during World War II, Fr Ciszek was arrested by the NKVD, accused of espionage, and subjected to years of interrogation, imprisonment, hard labour, and exile in Siberia. Despite brutal conditions, he continued to minister secretly to fellow prisoners, celebrate Mass, hear confessions, and offer spiritual support to those around him, risking his life for the sake of the Gospel.
Written with honesty, humility, and spiritual depth, this classic Catholic memoir is both an extraordinary historical account and an inspiring witness to the strength of faith under persecution. It remains one of the most compelling modern stories of Christian endurance and devotion.
