Publisher's summary

"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-listen 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.

This book changed my mind!

I grew up in a Christian home, but for decades I avoided saying I was a “Christian,” because the word sometimes invoked so much angst because of the actions of some Christians throughout history. Instead, I would say “I am a follower of Jesus,” because even people who didn’t believe “He is Lord” respected Him. Virginia Prodan’s courageous life made me realize want to say proudly “I am a Christian!” I pray i will have the opportunity one day to meet her in person to express my gratitude!

Incredible story about a small woman against a big government

I believe for me, this is one of the most inspiring stories of courage bravery and faith I have ever heard of in my life. Although horrible and Sad what Virginia and her family and friends went through I’m grateful that someone like her stood up to such a horrible way of control on civility. I believe that this book is something that everyone needs to read to understand The terrible ways of communism and socialism, to realize how horrible it is to humanity. Virginia is a true hero to society. And I thank Her for having the faith to do what she did.

GOD Is Amazing!

This book will change you & the way you view what miraculous thinks GOD can accomplish! The way Virginia allowed GOD to fill & transform her, to fill her so full of HIS love that she literally felt His love for others flow through her. And she always humbly gives GOD all the credit & says that she is simply a tool in His hands & a conduit for Him to use. If you think one person can't make a difference, this true story will show you that through GOD all things truly are possible. HE used 1 very tiny petite woman to begin the downfall of the communist regime in Romania.

Everyone Should Read Regardless of Religion

In 2022, a time where some Americans and politicians claim that our freedoms and Republic are threatened, saying this solely for the purpose of political gain, everyone should read or listen to this book and learn what oppression really is. This is a well written and compelling account of Virginia Prodan’s life in communist Romania. Despite the religious overtones, it is a mostly a book about the struggle for freedom in the face of an evil system that thankfully was overthrown.

An incredible story of faith and redemption

This book is a fantastic story of faith and perseverance, a light that shines in a dark place. God bless the author and all of those to whom she blessed with her wisdom, including me. I pray that God will revive my spirt and give the the love and wisdom He has given her.
