The first half of the book features Viktor Gorgachuk. Born in the
USSR, his Orthodox parents keep his birth a secret by bribing the
midwife. When Viktor is four, he is left at a remote monastery for
eight years. Here he is educated and then released to his parents
at twelve years of age. About this time, the midwife reveals the
secret birth to the KGB, who begin a search for Viktor. The parents
secretly leave Viktor with a family of Pentecostals and flee to
Vladivostok where they are discovered by the KGB. Refusing to
divulge Viktor's location, they are killed. Five years later,
Viktor flees the USSR and immigrates to the United States. Viktor's
escape from the KGB after the murder of his parents, and his
adventures leading up to his immigration to America, is a riveting
story. The second half follows Viktor in America. Here he becomes a
leading pastor within Evangelicalism, which is seriously divided
theologically. At one end of the divide are Pentecostals who
believe supernatural spiritual gifts are active today and speaking
in tongues is required evidence of Spirit baptism. At the other end
are Cessationists who believe supernatural gifts of the Spirit
ceased after the New Testament was completed. Pentecostal Pastor
Viktor Gorgachuk becomes close friends with Cessationist Pastor
Bill Ballard. They deplore the division within Evangelicalism. Both
are committed to scripture as the ultimate authority for faith and
practice. They agree to study each other's doctrine to determine
what scripture says. Each agrees to follow scripture if the result
of his search demands it. The interaction between two sincere
preachers searching for truth is compelling. It's a story that
thousands of evangelicals and others searching for spiritual
reality can relate to. Join the Truth Seekers if you dare.
