description: Known to the outside world as "the Siberian Seven," they are Russian Pentecostalists, revivalist worshipers who want to emigrate to the U.S. with the rest of their families. Thus far, the Soviet Union has blocked their efforts. Timothy Chmykhalov, the youngest of the Siberian Seven, retells the story of his family's years of captivity in the basement of the American Embassy in Moscow. Denied exit visas and freedom by the Soviet Union during their ordeal, none of the Seven had ever written personally about what happened just footsteps away from the Russian Secret Police, the KGB ... until now. What happened to the Siberian Seven? Is there really religious freedom in Russia? Soviet officials taunted Timothy and his family with the words, "If you believe in God, let God take care of you!" Those who were cornered in that embassy proved that God indeed did take care of them, and they found they could say, "Love conquers hatred." Includes 16 pages of black and white photos.
