Captured by a Russian army during World War II and convicted of
being a "Vatican spy," Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23
agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia.
Only through an utter reliance on God's will did he manage to
endure the extreme hardship. He tells of the courage he found in
prayer--a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the
frustration, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek
relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner
serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the "arrogance of
evil" that surrounded him. Ciszek learns to accept the inhuman work
in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God. And
through that experice, he was able to turn the adverse forces of
circumstance into a source of positive value and a means of drawing
closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit.
"He Leadeth Me" is a book to inspire all Christians to greater
faith and trust in God--even in their darkest hour. As the author
asks, "What can ultimately trouble the soul that accepts every
moment of every day as a gift from the hands of God and strives
always to do his will?"
This classic work of Russian spirituality has charmed countless readers with its tale of a nineteenth-century peasant seeking the truth with simple humility, finding joy and plenty everywhere in life.
