An overview about Czech and Slovak Saints. How converts to the church remained true to the faith under communist rule. Reeves discusses the trials Saints experienced in Czechoslovakia during the Communist regime. The author notes that the Saints emerged from 40 years of persecution with proven convictions and a firm foundation to continue to build up the kingdom of God in that part of the world. The author also explains that many Saints were still able to share the Gospel during Communist rule, despite their effort being potentially incriminating activities to the Government.
