January 12, 2012 6:15 to 8:15 PM The Song of Unsung Heroes Presented by Clariss Smith at Ascension Church, 7607 Garden Gate Drive, Citrus Heights, CA 95621.
Clariss presented an exciting tale of Bible Messengers faced with a world of barbed wire fences, machine gun toting guards, watchtowers, prison camps, and vicious dogs to help those persecuted for reading the Bible. This book has true stories of people who resisted the Soviet effort to destroy faith, and changed the Communist World with their daring work of moving Bibles. Miracles about intrepid heroes doing amazing daring acts by taking God’s Word to those imprisoned behind political walls. What was their crime? Having a Bible. Clariss relayed the stories of ordinary, people from many countries, doing everyday hard work facing brutal persecution while bringing God's Word to believers behind the Iron Curtain. She told of the steps she took to bring this book of miracles to publication.
