"This book is obviously not for everyone.
A musician standing before the Empire State Building in New York said to a friend, 'How beautifully that child across the street whistles.' His companion was astonished. 'How can you hear him in all this noise?' The musician threw a coin on the pavement. Immediately several men gathered. The proof had been given. Everyone hears what interests him.
Those interested in money hear the clink of a coin those interested in music hear even the rustling of the leaves shaken by the wind. Those thirsty for truth will find something useful in the present book.
What I write is only for those who want answers, who desire knowledge, who prefer the light of truth to the darkness of ignorance."

In God's Underground

"Imprisoned by the Romanian Communist for his work in the Christian Underground, and subjected to medieval torture, Wurmbrand kept his faith - and strengthened it. For fourteen years, he shared that faith with suffering cellmates and gave them solace. In solitary confinement, he tapped out his message of hope and Christian love. In Room Four, the 'death room,' he helped dying patients even though his lungs were riddled with tuberculosis and his body lacerated and bloody from whips and kicks. Anguished over the fate of his wife and son, he could still tell jokes and stories to make despairing prisoners laugh. Sorely tempted by the promise of release and reprieve, he refused to become a Communist collaborator.
And the miracle is that he survived.
With humble gratitude to God and Christ, he tells his personal story. It's an inspiring drama of triumphant faith."

"Mozart, at the age of four, when asked how he composed music, answered, 'I just put together little notes that like each other.'
This is what I have done, too. Thoughts and stories gathered according to their own affinities have been put on paper. That is all."

Reaching Toward The Heights
No Chapter Titles
"Each person must live one day at a time, and the Christian seeks to live his days 'reaching toward the heights.' One way this can be done is by spending a few moments each day meditating on God's Word and His love…. Many of the illustrations used come either from his [Pastor Wurmbrand's] experiences in prison camps or from fellow Christians who suffered as he did. Some may startle you but others may bring a smile. These testimonies can only draw a person closer to his Savior - who suffered for them."
Sweetest Song
No Chapter Titles
"I have no song of my own to sing. I sing the song of Jesus and of this bride as Solomon sang it; and to make the song resound more beautifully than ever, I illustrate it with lives of saints and martyrs…. The Sweetest Song [is] a wise, distillation of a life spent in the torment of actual captivity, where the authority of Scripture and redeeming power of the Spirit became real and vital. Pastor Wurmbrand wrote The Sweetest Song after meditating on the sayings of Rabbi Akiba in the 'Babylonian Talmud' where he class 'The Song of Songs the holiest of all the Scriptures. Translating this idea, Wurmbrand argues that the lives of the persecuted church are the holiest of all. Hence the poignancy and depth of this new momentary."
