Book Reviews of With God in Russia
Book Review: A wonderful manifestation of trust on God
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though Fr Ciszek tells his story in a matter of fact and emotionless manner, the story is deeply moving. Fr Ciszek's trust in Divine Providence notwithstanding his 5 years of interrogation at the Lubyanka and his 15 years in a labour camp is an extrordinary manifestation of the grace of God. His story gives an important insight into the madness of the communist regime - its obsession with the "rule of law" (far from it!), the strange politness at times of the KGB - a monumentally evil and irrational regime which somehow tried to cover itself in a veneer of law and reason but which was ultimately rotten to the core. Thank God for Fr Ciszek's witness to the faith in the midst of such inhumanity. AMDG!!!
Incidentally, to get the full picture, one really needs to read the companion book: "He leadeth me". In this later book, he gives a commentary of his time in Russia and the hard spiritual lessons he had to learn (particularly in the Lubyanka) in order to learn to trust in providence. Without this later book, one might be tempted to just see Fr Ciszek as a man of unbelievable natural strength and see his faith as a gloss but in the later book he makes it crystal clear that at all times it was his trust in God that sustained him. God bless you, Fr Ciszek!
Summary of With God in Russia
Father Walter Ciszek, S.J., author of the best-selling He Leadeth Me, tells here the gripping, astounding story of his twenty-three years in Russian prison camps in Siberia, how he was falsely imprisoned as an "American spy", the incredible rigors of daily life as a prisoner, and his extraordinary faith in God and commitment to his priestly vows and vocation. He said Mass under cover, in constant danger of death. He heard confession of hundreds who could have betrayed him; he aided spiritually many who could have gained by exposing him.This is a remarkable story of personal experience. It would be difficult to write fiction that could honestly portray the heroic patience, endurance, fortitude and complete trust in God lived by Fr. Walter Ciszek, S.J.
