<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Beyond the Rapids is the true story of Ukrainian pastor Alexei Brynza and his wife, Valentina, who endured persecution in a culture that was hostile to their faith as they struggled to raise their four children as believers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Imagine that you are a believer living in a communist country. You live with the knowledge that at any time you could be imprisoned, tortured, or killed simply because you are a Christian.<br /> <br /> A Reader's Favorite bronze medal winner, Beyond the Rapids is the true story of Ukrainian pastor Alexei Brynza and his wife, Valentina, who endured persecution in a culture that was hostile to their faith as they struggled to raise their four children as believers.<br /> <br /> Spanning the years from the Great Terror of the 1930s to the time when believing in Christ is no longer a crime, this close-knit Ukrainian family quietly persisted through the years, trusting God for everything. The Brynzas' children, forced to choose between God and the communist system, wrestled with temptations of ambition, popularity, love, and wealth. But God heard the faithful prayers of Alexei and Valentina, and the Brynza family was able to not only survive, but to thrive. Their son-in-law, Igor Yaremchuk, adds his own testimony of coming to Christ with the help of miracles and atheistic propaganda.<br /> <br /> Beyond the Rapids is a story for all believers everywhere. If you're concerned about the erosion of religious freedom, if you are discouraged because your children have wandered far from God, if you long to stand firm in your faith in all circumstances, the Brynzas' testimony of God's faithfulness will provide hope and inspiration as you are reminded afresh that God is with you, in every moment. As you sail through the torrents in your own life, God will meet you right where you are and guide you to the smooth water beyond the rapids.<br /> <br /> If you found inspiration and encouragement from Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand or The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun, you'll find that and more in Beyond the Rapids.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This is the moving story of a precious believer in Christ, who remained faithful despite</p><p>extreme, government-sponsored persecution. More than that, it is the story of God's faithfulness</p><p>to His beleaguered people, showing once more that even the most evil intentions</p><p>of sinful men can be employed by God to bring about great good. Irpin Biblical Seminary</p><p>is a monument to that great truth, and the life of Dr. Alexei Brynza is a testimony to the</p><p>immeasurable grace of our omnipotent God, who is able to make all things (including</p><p>our hardest trials) work together for good.</p><p>--John MacArthur</p><p>At long last you have the opportunity to read the inspiring story of my friends Lena</p><p>& Igor Yaremchuk. You will be fascinated to see what opened Igor's aesthetic eyes to</p><p>recognize the existence of God. And you will be inspired by the heartrending story of a</p><p>family's struggle for survival amidst crushing persecution. This book will bless your life.</p><p>--June Hunt</p><p>Founder, CEO, CSO (Chief Servant Officer)</p><p>Hope for the Heart</p><br>
