“I try to put into these sermons my deepest, perhaps my ultimate dying thoughts. I preach only because it is in my character to do so, as it is in the nature of nightingales to sing.”

Imprisoned for three years beneath the ground in solitary confinement, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand composed hundreds of sermons, delivered nightly to an unseen congregation. He committed them to memory by summarizing them in rhymes. These sermons, the fruit of Wurmbrand’s extreme deprivations, demonstrate in a personal and stimulating way the relevance of the Bible for today, and reveal unique insights into the character of God.
