For those who want to know what it was like under Communism, Alex Williams captures the spirit of the age. For the many young students who have come of age after Communism and who do not know what their parents lived through, it will be very helpful."

Holy Spy is far more than one man's story. As Alex Williams makes abundantly clear, it is also the story of the Acts of the Holy Spirit in Central and Eastern Europe. But 'holy narrative', lived out by 'holy people.', takes place in 'holy space.' And the 'holy place' in this story is Schloss Mittersill, an old castle in Austria, where God so powerfully met an earlier generation of students. Now, no less than then, those who man the spiritual rampants at the Schloss are thrilled to be part of that great storywhich, praise God and thanks to folks like Alex live on today.
