Summary: Miraculous story of one man's faith
Review: Mr. Terelya, now living in Canada, has survived unrelenting persecutions for the sake of his religion. To say he was saved by God is an understatement. This book will reinforce the beliefs of all Christians and especially verify the stories of the Blessed Virgin told to many Catholics.

Summary: Incredibly wonderful and enlightening
Review: This book tells of the true story of Josyp Terelya, a Ukranian Catholic. He would go to his death if need be to hold on to his faith despite the gruesome, inhumane treatment by the Communists trying to break him of believing in God. Fast and light reading. Would like to meet him one day.
