Description: The Iranian Revolution, and the events that followed, have had such an impact on my life, and all that I have lived and nearly died for, that I have definitely something to say now.  Thank God we did not know from the beginning what was in store for us as a family and as a Church, otherwise I don't think we would have been able to bear it.
