Book Reviews of With God in Russia
Book Review: true abandonment to God
Summary: 5 Stars
I read With God in Russia after receiving a recommendation from a friend. It is a very readable book, which I had trouble putting down to do necessary chores. I highly recommend it to anyone who takes the spiritual life seriously. This book tells the story of Father Ciszek's life in Russia, while his book He Leadeth Me gives the spiritual side of the experience. I was totally moved by his ability to abandon himself to God in the midst of the tremendous difficulties he experienced. I am sharing this book with friends, so they can see how much more fortunate we are here in the United States.

Book Review: An Inspiring journey towards acceptance of God's Will
Summary: 5 Stars
Father Ciszek portrays the nightmare disruption the Nazis and Communist caused in the lives of Catholics, Christians and Jews. A convicted "Vatican Spy", Father Ciszek spent the majority of his adult life abused, demeaned and nearly killed in Soviet labor camps. Despite these hardships, the book is uplifting, heartwarming and exceedingly inspirational. This book will help anyone facing the hardships of life. The companion book "He Leadeth Me" is a must read to understand the grace and strength Father Ciszek received from his Catholic religion.Book Review: Robin'sReview

I am nearly finished reading this book. It is an incredible true story. It is a story of endurance and faith. I was moved by the author's own account of his tremendous ordeal and how he managed to survive. He tells his story very simply and with a heart of gratitude. His story makes you appreciate life. You come away feeling extremely blessed. I almost don't want the story to end. I would highly recommend this book. I felt that this man's story was a gift of awareness; it opens your eyes to see the good in life.Book Review: Amazing Life Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book back in 1987 while a patient in a local Veteran's Hospital. A priest had stopped in to visit and offered it to me for something to pass the time. It was one of those books that once you started to read it, you couldn't put it down. I read the book in a week, and it really touched me as to the testament of a person's faith in a time of struggle. I regard it as an honor to of been afforded the opportunity to of been given this book to read in a time of need.Book Review: With God in Russia
Summary: 5 Stars
Fr. Ciszek is from my Diocese. Our Bishop, John Barres, encouraged people to read his book, He Leadeth Me. I felt that I wanted to read about what Fr. Ciszek went through in the prison camps in Russia before I read about his spiritual journey. His experiences in solitary confinement, interrogation and labor camps for 15 years would have broken most men. He relied on God to help him through those years not expecting to ever be a free man again. It is an amazing story.
