About this audiobook

Locked away, but not silenced... Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh knew they were putting their lives on the line. Though Islamic laws in Iran forbade them from sharing their Christian beliefs, in three years they'd covertly put New Testaments into the hands of 20,000 of their countrymen. They'd started two secret house churches, including one for prostitutes - many of whom were women abandoned by their husbands with no other way to support themselves and their children. Maryam and Marziyeh had almost been caught so many times that it felt like divine intervention. But finally - perhaps inevitably - the two women were arrested in 2009 and held the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran. There, inmates are routinely tortured, and executions are swift and sudden. But in the face of chilling interrogation, intimidation, and a possible death sentence, something remarkable happened. Instead of succumbing to fear, they chose to take the radical - and dangerous - step of sharing their faith inside the very walls of the government stronghold that was meant to silence them. In Captive in Iran, Maryam and Marziyeh recount how God used their 259 days in Evin Prison to bring about a miraculous reversal: shining light into one of the world's darkest places, giving hope to those who had lost everything, and showing love to those in despair.

    Beautiful book about a frighteningly powerful experience. Well written. Very expressive. Couldn't put it down until I had finished it.

    Great book written from the perspectives of two Christian women captured in Iran and brought to Evan prison where they met and made friends with many other women held there for various crimes. As grim as the situation was, they saw God move in amazing ways and made friends in high places as well as low places.

    I learned a lot about Iran and culture from these young women’s experience told and their stories were interesting. However, it seemed
    as though their experience and stories were repeated a few different times and drones on for a little too long. I think this book could have been shorter and still been impactful.

    If there was 10 stars it would be ten. There are books that are called “Must Reads” for every Christian. This is one of them. This is a must read for all
