Eyes of the Tailless Animals

Résumé : On October 26, 1986. Soon Ok Lee was enjoying a peaceful morning at work in Communist North Korea when her misery began. As supervisor of the material distribution center, she was summoned outside to speak to the bureau chief, but was quickly shoved into a car and whisked to the train station. She did not return to her family that night. In fact, she would not see her husband alive again. Instead, she was taken to prison where she endured six years of inhumane treatment. Soon Ok Lee learned that her "crime" was refusing to satisfy the greed of a government officer. Soon Ok Lee did not know the Lord. While in prison, she witnessed the horrendous tortures and mass killings of the Body of Christ, and could not understand why they stubbornly refused to bend to the government demands to deny Christ. Wouldn't it save them from further persecution? She later came to understand their steadfast faith after escaping to South Korea where she found the Lord. A must-read for everyone desiring a glimpse inside the prison system of North Korea — considered one of the most isolated countries in the world.
