Response / Reflection

I’m going to tell you what I thought about this book and why I liked it. The book I read was called A Way of Escape and was located mainly in Romania, Austria, and Yugoslavia. This book really gave me a better prospective on what communist really is and how it can really affect a country. The part that was crazy to me was, when the communist people made Christians look like they were out casts, and did not really care much about them. It really affected this family in many ways like, work, keeping the Sabbath, and be able to spread Gods word without getting in trouble for it.

The story also showed me that with the power of believing and having faith you can do anything with God, which is amazing in itself. They showed it many times in this story, when he was running through the night and having to put your life in God’s hands, while they were passing Guards, Dogs, and watch towers. There was one major thing that really had to be God! They were just about to come up to the border, when all the sudden they came up to the Border Control Headquarters, and barely squeezed bye. When they thought they had gone through everything they came up a spot where there was a line of large bond fires burning away. There was no way around the fires, so they had to go right by the light of the fire. They got started, and could feel the warmth of the fire on their faces as they went by and had almost pasted the light of the fire. As they were leaving the area of the bond fires two guards came out behind them out of no were, but luckily God was on their side, and the guards did not see them!
