NEW YORK—Oct. 12, 2021—Morgan James announces the release of Pulling Back the Iron Curtain: Stories from a Cold War Missionary, by Debby Thompson.

When a young couple was called upon by God to go live covertly in Communist Poland amidst the bitter days of the Cold War in 1977, they left for the unknown filled with faith and buffeted by fear. Pulling Back the Iron Curtain is a gripping collection of their stories to share the hope, life and truth of the Gospel to a nation living in darkness, no matter the costs.

Pulling Back the Iron Curtain tells one family’s story of ordinary life in an extraordinary setting and reveals previously unknown insights into the tender and dramatic workings of God during one of the bleakest periods of the 20th century.
