Door of Hope International is excited to present our latest edition of Tortured for His Faith by world-acclaimed author and deeply revered spiritual giant, Pastor Haralan Popov.

This inspiring Christian autobiography tells the story of a pastor who was imprisoned for 13 years in Communist Bulgaria because he refused to stop preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

One of the most widely read Christian persecution testimonies of the modern era, Tortured for His Faith has touched more than one million lives, been translated into more than 27 languages, and circulated around the world.

This new edition includes a foreword by his son, Paul H. Popov, along with an additional chapter highlighting the final years of Pastor Popov’s life and ministry, including photographs and personal reflections.

Whether you are seeking inspiration or a true story of Christian persecution, Tortured for His Faith offers a powerful glimpse into what it means to have faith under fire. Pastor Haralan Popov demonstrates how courage, perseverance, and trust in God can sustain believers even in the darkest trials.

Stories like these—faith stories and persecution testimonies—are especially important for young Christians. By learning from men and women who stood firm in their faith, youth are inspired to persevere and hold fast to Christ when their own beliefs are tested.

Proceeds from this Tortured for His Faith book support Door of Hope International, helping persecuted believers worldwide and continuing the work of sharing stories that strengthen faith.
