Saving My Assassin

By: Virginia Prodan

Narrated by: Matilda Novak

"I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans."

At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering six-foot-ten-inch, gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened - nor would it be the last.

As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land.

For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again but also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu's evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told.

A must-listen for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman's search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God.

A book for our times

Even though the events took place many years ago, this book is so ver applicable to today. Not only does it remind one of the freedoms we have and how we have to vigilantly guard those freedoms, but that only by the grace of God can we continue on. Really great book that I will read/listen to many times.

A life used for God’s purposes

I love to read biographies and autobiographies about Christians whose lives demonstrate Christ’s love, forgiveness, and power to overcome difficulties while being used for His purposes.

Powerful Witness

Virginia’s story honors all the faithful witnesses that did not survive their assassins. There is no less persecution of Christ followers today. Thank you Virginia.

Amazing!

This book is amazing! I couldn’t stop listening. It changed my life. I hope it changes yours.🤗💕🤗

Riveting

I couldn’t stop reading this book. Excellent content and performance. I enjoyed every minute of it.

beautiful story

This is a intense look at the persecution that Virgina faced while living in her home country Romania during communist rule. You see where she came from and what kind of life she had. She is a very strong woman that overcame adversity on every corner. It truly was an inspirational story. The narrator did well in performing the piece and the story never really got dull even being not an action packed book. It is enjoyable

Must Read

Fantastic memoir. Tremendous testimony. The American church needs to read this book and see what persecution looks like and what it is to live your faith in the face of tremendous fear and danger.

Amazing true story of faith and courage

Among the audible books I have enjoyed of courageous Christian women who have risked their lives for the gospel this one is surely one of the most inspiring. Read or listen and see how God reaches a person in one of the darkest places on earth and uses them powerfully to effect change in our world.

A must read by everyone who has an ear

Absolutely Superb. The true life story of Virginia Prodan was riveting. God is so Good.

Exceptional story of life under Communism

Wow. Truly amazing and inspiring. The story was absolutely compelling. It was a fascinating window into life in a Communist country, and demonstrates how precious freedom is. We take that for granted in the U.S. Virginia's faith and reliance upon God in the face of threats and beatings amazed me.

The narrator was average, and had only a few voices for the characters, but she didn't detract from the story.

I particularly enjoyed the piece by the assassin at the end of the book.

All in all, I highly recommend this book.
