Imprisoned for seventeen months, Tom White survived to tell the exciting story of God's suffering church behind the sugarcane curtain.
In the 1970s, the threat of missile attacks from Fidel Castro's Cuba was one of the United States' great fears. For seven years, Tom White led a massive invasion of Cuba through the Gospel to bring God's peace to this oppressed Caribbean island. Over 400,000 Christian pamphlets, missiles of love, were dropped from the sky or carried ashore by the sea.
On May 27, 1979, Tom White's plane crashed on a Cuban highway. Brutal treatment by the secret police, months of solitary confinement, and a twenty-four-year prison sentence handed down by a sham court form the backdrop of this compelling story. At the school of suffering, in Combinado del Este prison, the author met and served the Lord with Cuba's persecuted church.
This is not the story of one person's triumph over a system. It is a dynamic testimony to God's triumphant love, God's faithful protection, and God's patient teaching in Fidel Castro's hell.
