Praying With the KGB: A Startling Report from a Shattered Empire

Summary: Remarkable dissintegration of the U.S.S.R.
Review: For those who grew up under that shadow of the iron curtain, the changes that took place around the globe in the late 1980's and early 1990's were truly amazing, none more so than the splintering of the Soviet Union. Journalist Philip Yancey writes an exciting account of his visit to the former USSR with a group called Project Christian Bridge. Formerly an atheistic society, the Soviets had actually extended an invitation to the Christian group because of the moral erosion in their society, finding that they lacked an ethical foundation for rebuilding. PRAYING WITH THE KGB tells a remarkable story. The book is short enough to be read in one sitting. Exciting and highly recommended.
