Saving My Assassin, by Virginia Prodan, is a testament to courageous faith. As an attorney in Communist Romania under the brutal reign of Nicolae Ceausescu, she defended Christians targeted for minor offenses regarding the practice of their faith. Standing on the country's already-existing laws (laws the dictator had to abide by in order to maintain an alliance with the United States), she nonetheless angered government officials who wanted to silence those who dared to believe in the God of the Bible, rather than the god of the country.
As Prodan began to attract international media attention for her cases, the opposition to her actions grew. Continuing to defend her clients despite being detained, assaulted and threatened, the author finally found herself face to face and very alone with a man Ceausescu sent to kill her. What happens next is simply a mighty demonstration of God's desire that none perish, but all come to repentance.
Journeying with the author as she recalls her painful upbringing and how it brought her to saving faith in Jesus, I had difficulty putting the book down. Her life is indeed an example of just how much God can do with a life surrendered to His will...and His sovereign protection.
I received this book free in exchange for a fair review. For more information on the author, go here.
