Provoked!

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)
