Breakthrough

Title: Breakthrough
Author: Rudi Lack
Major Themes: YWAM, Rudi Lack, Smuggling, Evangelism, Communism, Africa
Synopsis: Rudi Lack found the Christian life to be one adventure after another as he took the Gospel into countries where it was forbidden.

Several months ago, we placed an order with a large chain bookstore in this country. Along with the books we ordered was included a copy of Rudi Lack’s book Breakthrough. I didn’t have time to read it then, so I put it on the shelf. Not long ago, we ordered more books—and they included another copy of the same book! We don’t need two copies on the shelf in our library, so I decided to read it, since I had a lull in my review books that needed to be read, and then I would know if I could give it to a particular family or not. Well, I had no idea what I was getting myself in for.

Publisher’s description:

My thoughts:

There are very few books that I have read that have convicted me of the need to pray like Breakthrough did. I was astounded at the way Rudi and the rest of his team of YWAM School of Evangelism students prayed—and got answers and specific direction. Without the specific leading they received from God through their long sessions of prayer, they would not have survived some of the situations they found themselves in, and they would not have been able to reach the people for God that they did.

Breakthrough tells the story of the early days of YWAM’s SOE by one of the early students. It also describes the way they were able to get Bibles into communist countries where they were not allowed—and even into the hands of communist Chinese people when no one was allowed to go into China! If you want to read some stories of wild adventures living for God, pick up this book. It’s amazing. If you want a book that will challenge your faith and your commitment to God, pick up this book. It’s convicting.
