Item Description...
"This is Tshenuwani Simon Farisani's harrowing account of the suffering inflicted on a single human being by the brutalities of apartheid. Farisani shows us the terror of torture, the fear of death, and the eventual victory of faith. "Here is a man of God, deeply committed to justice and peace, who has given himself in total solidarity with the struggle of his people to the cause of liberation in South Africa. Here is a Christian who has suffered the agonies of hell for the sake of his Lord, his calling as pastor, and his love for his people. Reading this autobiography is not only a priority but an absolute necessity." THE REV. DR. BEYERS NAUD (1915-2004) Former General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches TSHENUWANI SIMON FARISANI is Branch President of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Office and Speaker of the Provincial Legislature of the Parliamentary Office of Limpopo, South Africa. He was the Dean of the Devhula circuit of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa, Northern Diocese, and imprisoned several times for his outspoken criticism of apartheid.

 | An honest account by a godly man Mar 8, 2010 |
I am astonished there are no reviews for this.
It has been twenty years since I read this book and I don't remember the details. But let me tell you about the man. He was in residence at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary when I was a student and I had many occasions to hear him preach, listen to him talk, interact and met his wife and family. Once I was at his house for an evening.
He is as he presents himself in this book. Deeply spiritual, a theologian, completely honest. Despite limping badly from the horrible torture he had gone through, he was full of fun with a great sense of humor. He had lived the Christian struggle with evil and come out with the equanimity of Mandela.
Like Job, he had suffered and been granted visions of God that he said made the suffering worthwhile. The book should be considered a spiritual classic. | | | Write your own review about Diary from a South African prison / Tshenuwani Simon Farisani ; edited by John A. Evenson
