The Price of Freedom is an amazing book about two young men escaping from Romania. I saw these men in concert and they told their story there but I had to buy the book too. Actually, what was so amazing about this story, that it only happened 10 years ago. The fear these boys felt when the were crossing boarders from Romania to Hungray and then Italy, I only thought that this happened in Russia, over 40 years ago. The story follows Simon and Wesley as they flee from Romania, and then to Italy -- and then they pay a man to find a ship container full of ceramic tiles heading for Canada. God protects them every step of the way. It is truly a miracle they survived. www.freedomsingers.com… (mais)
