Song of the Nightingale: One Woman's True Story of Faith & Persecution in Eritrea (A Woman's Guide)

Song of the Nightingale: One Woman's True Story of Faith & Persecution in Eritrea (A Woman's Guide) by Berhane, Helen. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781850788645.

Song of the Nightingale is the true story of Helen Berhane, held captive for over two years in appalling conditions in her native Eritrea. Her crime? Sharing her faith in Jesus, and refusing, even though horrendously tortured, to deny him. Helen says, I want to give a message to those of you who are Christians and live in the free world: You must not take your freedom for granted. If I could sing in prison, imagine what you can do for Gods glory with your freedom. A sobering, painful, heart-rending account of true faith in the face of evil, this book makes for uncomfortable and yet inspirational reading. A real challenge for the church in the West.
