Tortured for Christ reading schedule (Updated 6/18)

This is the reading schedule for the current book, Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand. If you haven't received your free copy from Voice of the Martyrs, Amazon also has many used copies. The dates are subject to change. We will likely have cookout sometime during this schedule; date to be determined.

I am looking forward to this study and hope that you will go into it prayerfully. While some of Wurmbrand's criticisms of communism may not be as relevant today as they were when he wrote them (simply because of the Soviet Union's fall), I think the broader insights into persecution and how we can live our faith in the face of monumental, even state-sponsored, adversity are valuable and timeless.

JUNE
25 - No group (VBS block party!)

JULY
2 - Cookout? Details to come...
9 - Chapter 4 (pg. 69-84)
16 - Chapter 5
23 - Chapter 6
30 - Chapter 7 & Epilogue

Tortured for Christ starts tonight 5/21


After taking a week off, we will be getting into our new book tonight--Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand. Don't worry if you haven't received your copy yet. We will be doing intros to the book, author and one another. I'll post a reading schedule in the next few days. Looking forward to diving into this new study with you!

5/14 Update to an Update

Hey folks. As you may know, our next study is Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ. Unfortunately, only one person in the group has received their copy so far. So, we won't be meeting tonight, but should be next week. You may want to request your copy again through VOM, just in case, or possibly even order it through a bookstore online. It's a fairly inexpensive book.
