Richard Wurmbrand: Love Your Enemies – Christian Heroes Novel Study (10 Lessons)
Walk into the dark prisons of Communist Romania — and watch how God’s light can never be locked away.
This 10-lesson Christian novel study based on Richard Wurmbrand: Love Your Enemies (Christian Heroes: Then & Now) invites students to explore one man’s extraordinary story of courage, compassion, and unwavering faith. Perfect for Years 4–8, this living-book style study helps children understand what it means to stand firm for Christ and love even in the face of suffering.
Through Richard’s story, students will see that real strength isn’t found in comfort or freedom, but in faith — the kind of faith that forgives, prays for enemies, and trusts that God’s truth will always overcome lies.
