Drawing on rich historical research and personal narratives, the book highlights men and women who sustained their faith under communist regimes that restricted religious belief and public worship. Long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, these “supporting Saints”—ordinary people from diverse backgrounds—kept communities alive, navigated political barriers, and prepared the way for a future that once seemed unimaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than focusing on headline events alone, this volume brings history to life through intimate, human stories of sacrifice, resilience, and hope. Readers encounter missionaries, local leaders, couples, and converts who worked largely outside the spotlight yet played decisive roles in building lasting congregations across former communist Europe. Both scholarly and accessible, \u003cem\u003eThe Unlikely and the Impossible\u003c\/em\u003e offers an inspiring testament to what faith-driven individuals can accomplish when circumstances appear most forbidding—and why their legacy still matters today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore Information:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 978-1-58958-841-7 (paperback)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greg Kofford Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45991839039659,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/2257\/files\/HeissMiller_UnlikelyAndImpossible_416ac3d4-2fbc-4901-90d6-7223d9675b33.jpg?v=1790284039","url":"https:\/\/gregkofford.com\/products\/the-unlikely-and-the-impossible","provider":"Greg Kofford Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
