The True Story of John Muntean.
“Willing To Die” - ABOUT The Book
A great story showing a man's determination, courage, and faith.
Willing to Die takes the reader into a world very few knew much about. History books made passing remarks. We could find the country of Romania on the map. We heard tales about Romanian gypsies and the Romanian circus, but other than that what did we really know about it other than it was the Breadbasket of Europe?
The horror of WWII barely touched Muntean's village. To those who experienced the atrocities the news about the war's end brought them hope. According to Muntean, "they truly believed life would get better once the Nazis left". But the one sentence that prickled my skin and sent ghostly shivers down my neck was: They were wrong--the Russians were coming.
That one sentence set the stage for a book that is truly hard to put down. Throughout the oppression, the reader sees the hand of God at work through one man and his family. How many close calls? So many that you can see only God brought him or saved him from it. And God had a purpose for this man's life.
Not only to flee a country where Christians hid in fear, where those who did not conform to Communism faced imprisonment, torture, and even death. People wanted to flee. The Breadbasket of Europe became a withered loaf under the pounding of an iron fist.
As the reader becomes immersed in the true story of one man's plight and flight, you can't help be see the parallelism with today. That was Romania in history. It is fast becoming America today.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Josephine Walker
A funny thing happened to me on the way to living out my life as wife, mother and grandmother. Writing, never before a dream or desire, erupted on my radar screen after a simple prayer. God oftentimes has surprises waiting when you least expect it. He set me on a new path and prepared me for the new season headed my way.
In the middle of writing my first book it was interrupted by a phone call from a friend and the oldest son of John Muntean, asking me to help his father tell his story.
Willing to Die, the true story of John Muntean, a man of courage and faith, was published in Sept. 2013.
My life and time is filled with family, writing, speaking, political issues, and every once in a while I get to travel. I never know for certain which direction God will take me.
“It is an HONOR and a Privilege to have a Godly Father like my Father, John Muntean! Truly a Man after God's Heart!!! This Man was "Willing to Die" to secure his children's future free from the tyranny of socialism and communism... I will forever be grateful to my Father for listening to God's voice and act upon the purpose for which he was born.”
