Overview

While imprisoned for 14 years in Communist Romania, Richard Wurmbrand spent more than three years isolated from all human contact in solitary confinement. He was not, however, separated from his own thoughts or the companionship of his Creator. He spent those long, lonely months of confinement contemplating the truths of God’s Word and composing poems and sermons in his mind.

In his book 100 Prison Meditations, Wurmbrand shares a collection of those contemplations on Scripture that were born in the confines of a Communist prison cell. While his meditations may be challenging and sometimes disturbing, they reflect the thoughts of a man who, deprived of human companionship, remained in intimate communion with God.
