**NEW – TORTURED FOR HIS FAITH 50th Anniversary Edition!
In celebration of Door of Hope International’s (DOHI) Golden Jubilee, we are honoring the legacy of Dr. Haralan Popov by printing a special edition of his autobiography, Tortured For His Faith.
As a pastor in Bulgaria during the communist occupation, his very prominent as a devoted Christian leader brought Haralan Popov severe physical and spiritual torture at the hands of the Soviet KGB and their Bulgarian Quislings.
In Belene, the infamous communist concentration camps, Popov continued his work for God despite the suffering he had to endure. After most miraculously surviving more than 13 years of confinement and torture, he was finally released. Despite threats of being arrest again, he continued organizing secret church services and Bible teachings because the official Church had been infiltrated with Soviet spies and had fallen under total communist control.
Today, the name Dr. Haralan Popov is deeply revered around the world. He has become a symbol of Christian courage to millions whose faith continues to be under attack by oppressive governments and religious extremists.
This 50th-anniversary edition includes an updated forward by his son, Paul H. Popov, as well as pictures and highlights of DOHI’s ministry spanning the years 1972 to 2022.
It is a source of joy to us to know that Pastor Popov’s story has brought solace to men and women all around the world who have also suffered torture and imprisonment because of their uncompromising faith in God.
Pastor Fashid Fahti: “I have had the privilege to taste a little bit of suffering, like many other people around the world, for the sake of the Gospel. I have spent five years of my life in prison. The first year I was in solitary confinement, but after that I was sent to a real prison. Once there, I asked my friends and family to bring me books to read since in real prison you have permission to read books. Someone sent me Tortured For His Faith – a wonderful, powerful, beautiful book written by our beloved brother Haralan Popov in Farsi.
What I can tell you is that when I was reading every page of this book, God was really strengthening me and touching my heart and helping me to keep going on the road of suffering. Even though I was going through a difficult time, as I was seeing the footprint of other believers, like the man of God, Haralan Popov…when I was seeing what he went through in those times, how he stood for the Lord, it helped me to forget about my pain and my suffering. It was so encouraging for me because of that! I am so thankful that we can have this book in Farsi!”
