Synopsis

“I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans.”At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering six-foot-ten-inch, gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened—nor would it be the last.As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land.For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again but also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu’s evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told.A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman’s search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God.

Goodreads review by Natalie on March 08, 2017

This was hard to put down--although it is a memoir, it reads like gripping fiction. The author had a terrible childhood in Romania partly due to communist oppression but also due to the home that she grew up in. The cruelty and marginalisation she experienced was shocking and sad, not least because t......more

Goodreads review by Yibbie on September 17, 2024

Eight years ago, I read this book for the first time. Its power and hope haven't weakened a jot in those years. The love of Christ for lost, lonely sinners, and His suffering church are just as eloquently evident. I would recommend everyone re-read it or at least read it. (First review) What an encou......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on January 14, 2022

This story must be read. It is a powerful memoir, a modern day David and Goliath that testifies to the existence of a powerful, loving, omnipresent God who is just as active today as yesterday and tomorrow. Working with, through and beside the least among us to accomplish the greatest of feats of re......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany on June 06, 2024

This was such an accessible yet powerful read! This memoir details the life of Virginia Prodan, a Romanian woman living in under Nicolae Ceausescu’s communist rule. From childhood, Virginia is noticeably different from her family. Due to family secrets and situational circumstances, she becomes an a......more

Goodreads review by Joanna on January 10, 2022

Very interesting! Powerful story! I thought it was chilling that Communism’s promise was equality and justice for all, but then only as long as you agreed and supported the government. People disappeared for the most minor infractions, and no one could do anything about it. 😳😒......more

Quotes

“Saving My Assassin is gripping.” Jerry B. Jenkins, New York Times bestselling author

“The author paints a vividly disturbing tableau of the brutality of Romanian Communism and the chilling manner in which Ceaușescu feigned political liberality to the world while practicing totalitarianism at home. While it’s a memoir written in the first person, the book reads like a suspenseful thriller that also thoughtfully reflects on the moral value of freedom….A potent indictment of autocracy and a searing testament to human courage.” Kirkus Reviews

“Virginia mastered her fear of earthly consequences for the glory of God and now inspires her readers. Beyond inspiration, Saving My Assassin is a call to action: to live above fear—and to witness the miraculous.” Tony Perkins, president, Family Research Council, Washington, DC

“An amazing testimony of one woman’s experience against oppression of faith and how she found the courage to stand strong in the face of insurmountable odds.” David Curry, CEO, Open Doors USA

“It’s rare to find a book so well written and so emotionally powerful and yet teaching wonderful lessons about freedom and courage and the great moral principles to which we all need to aspire.” Kelly Shackelford, Esq., president, CEO, and chief counsel of Liberty Institute

“Saving My Assassin is a stirring account of valor under an oppressive regime and faith in the face of faithlessness. Prodan’s heartbreaking, inspiring life journey from Communist Romania to the birthplace of freedom will move readers of every background, and serves as a call to action for a new generation of Americans whose religious liberty is already under attack by the corrupt and powerful. Through persecution, conversion, exile, and triumph, Prodan reminds us: there is always hope.” Jim DeMint, former senator and former president and CEO of the Heritage Foundation
