Run and Pray - Paperback

by Tibor Ted Gyorffy (Author)

This book is about the life of a teenage boy who went through a tough, difficult experience in order to escape the Soviet (Russian) slaughter of the Hungarian people. Leaving his family and country at age 19 was a very difficult time. Going to Austria, where German is spoken, and living in different refugee camps, where the food is substandard and insufficient, was hard to endure. His faith in God sustained him and made him a strong young man. After two years of refugee life, his prayers were answered and he found long-awaited freedom in the USA.
