 Provoked!
Alexander
Solzhenitsyn was one of Russia’s most acclaimed authors and in 1970 he
won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was confined to eight years of
imprisonment in a Gulag (Russian prison system for prisoners and those
deemed not politically correct), without a trial for some critical
remarks he had written concerning the Communist ruler, Joseph Stalin.
One evening while in the Gulag hospital being treated for terminal
cancer, a Russian Jewish doctor, Boris Kornfeld, introduced him to Jesus
Christ. That very night Kornfeld was brutally beaten to death, but it
was his witness that God used to bring Solzhenitsyn to saving faith in
Christ.
Don’t you enjoy biographical stories of great men and
women? The Bible is replete with such. Biographies help us to better
understand human nature and demonstrate to us that truth transcends
generations. They give to us adventure, History, and personal
experience, and then provoke us to thoughts, aspirations, and heights
far beyond where we presently are.
In our English Bible Institute
we have a whole Division dedicated to Biblical biographies. Your mind
will be provoked and your life changed by these fascinating studies.
Please pass along this good news and this link to your friends and
family. (Biblical Character Studies) |
