In the service of the secret printing house "Christianin"
Jakob Görzen | Seed | 352 pages | €9.80
"What would I do if I lived under such circumstances? Could I muster the same determination, courage, and faith in God if the socio-political situation suddenly demanded it? Or would I cower, have too many reservations, too many doubts, too much fear?" These and similar thoughts ran through my mind as I began reading this book. And these thoughts linger, because Jakob Görzen's life story definitely gives one pause for thought.
In a time when the country and all aspects of social life are deeply influenced by atheism, and the state apparatus is determined to the utmost to combat the Christian faith, a young Christian makes a decision. He wants to serve God and his fellow believers in the country. Therefore, he and like-minded individuals build an underground network for printing and distributing Bibles and religious literature. For this, he must unconditionally give everything he owns to the Lord: his car, his house, his strength, his time, his security, his family, his life.
Anyone who engages with this remarkable autobiography will learn a great deal. About the past, the time of our parents and grandparents. How they lived, how they served God, and what it meant back then to stand unconditionally by their faith. And about the present and about oneself. For the stark contrast between then and now clearly points to the many incredible possibilities and opportunities available today.
which we have today.
