Josyp Terelya was born in the Ukraine (Soviet Union) in 1943, the son of high-ranking Communist officials. By age 14, Josyp was defending his faith against Communist suppression & became a leader in the Ukrainian underground Catholic Church. At age 18, he began the first of 23 years in Communist prisons. His account of beatings & abuses are dramatic. This is the story of a mystic, a visionary, a suffering servant, a victim of Godless Communism. It is the account of a man who spent much of his life behind bars because of his faith & evangelism. Josyp fought for the cause of Christianity all his life & in the most hostile of circumstances. He became known worldwide. His release from the Communist gulag came from the pleas of President Reagan, President Mitterrand, Pope John Paul II, the International Red Cross & Amnesty International. He told of his experiences to a Congressional Committee in Washington, D.C., October 22, 1987. His life story has become legendary & has been written up in the BOSTON GLOBE & the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. Columnist Jack Anderson called him "another Alexander Solzhenitsyn crying out from deep within the Soviet prison system."
