Church in the Cowbarn By Slava Goncharenko

Described in this book is the courage and faith of Belarusian Christians who refused to give up on their church building that was forcefully purchased by the City Authorities.

During those tough times, during the peak of the crisis, when Ambulances were driving believers away who were weakened by the hunger strike, something great did happen.

A biblical-scale miracle took place, a miracle that became known to and inspired thousands of Christians worldwide!

This book is about...

•   Christians holding the hunger strike for 23 days.
•   What kind of spiritual and emotional pressure they had to undergo.
•   What kind of a wonderful leading of the Holy Spirit was there amidst those circumstances.
•   Self-denial and courage of Belarusian Christians.
•   Their pastor being invited to the President's Administration and what he heard there.
•   9 European nations' Ambassadors and the USA Ambassador visiting the church.
•   The church getting a "Courage Award" of the National Human Rights Association.

And many other things are also described in this book.
