The Privilege of Preaching: Part I

In his book, *"Tortured for Christ", Richard Wurmbrand talks about the privilege of preaching while in prison for loving Jesus:

It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners, as it is in captive nations today. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their terms. It was a deal: we preach and they beat us. We were happy preaching; they were happy beating us--so everyone was happy.
