Product Information
He Leadeth Me is the deeply moving personal story of one man's spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survive the horrendous ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse. Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a Vatican spy, American Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent some 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. He here recalls how it was only through an utter reliance on God's will that he managed to endure. He tells of the courage he found in prayer-a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustrations, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the arrogance of evil that surrounded him. Learning to accept even the inhuman work of toiling in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God, he was able to turn adverse forces into a source of positive value and a means of drawing closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit. He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God-even in their darkest hour.Product Identifiers

Twenty-three Years in the Russian Prison Camps
After entering Russia as a Byzantine Catholic missionary after the Revolution, Rev. Walter Ciszek, S.J., a Pennsylvania native, was arrested as a spy. He was held in solitary confinement in Moscow's Lubianka prison for five years. Finally cracking under the pressure of starvation and constant interrogations, he "confessed" to being a spy for the Vatican and was sentenced to hard labor in the frozen wasteland of Siberia. After 23 years of misery, suffering from extreme cold and starvation, living among hardened criminals who would kill in a heartbeat, Father Walter was released and eventually swapped with two Russian prisoners. Returning to the U.S. in 1963, he spent the rest of his life teaching at Fordham University, giving spiritual direction, and writing. "With God in Russia" is the detailed story of his youth, vocation to the priesthood, his burning desire to go to Russia as a missionary, years of imprisonment, and eventual release. "He Leadeth Me," Father Walter's second book, tells the same story but from a more spiritual perspective. Surrendering to God's will in all things and relying completely on God's providence, Father Walter survived the extreme conditions in the Russian prison system and found the strength to minister to Catholics who had no access to priests or the sacraments due to the atheistic Communist government having outlawed the practice of religion. For anyone who has struggled with the problem of evil, Father Walter's story will inspire you with the incredble strength of the human spirit in the face of profound physical and spiritual challenges. Father Walter Ciszek has been declared a Servant of God by the Catholic Church.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Surprised by the Truth
Having read over 1,000 books in a decade, this book ranks in my personal Top Ten List. Having grown up anti-Catholic in an apostate church and heathen home, this author's precious spirit surprised me. I highly recommend reading this if you love God, seek truth, and cherish liberty. Amen.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Awesome book!
Awesome book to read especially during this stay-at-home time with the coronavirus! If this man can be in solitary confinement for 5 years and work in a Siberian labor camp for many more years and keep his faith strong, I think I can stay at home for a few months if need be! It was inspiring to read how his faith actually grew!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Faith and Hope to Overcome the Darkness of Life
This is a compelling and beautiful account of how extraordinary faith in God enabled Father Ciszek to survive inhumane treatment in Soviet prisons and labor camps in Siberia. The lessons therein should increase the faith of all who read it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
