The story of the murder of a missionary in Turkey - killed because of his faith.

Rumours of a terrible, triple murder were circulating around the world. Something horrific had happened but reports were sketchy at best, frequently embellished and exaggerated. As hearsay was replaced with hard evidence it was revealed that Susanne Geske had become a martyr's widow, a long way from home, in Malatya, eastern Turkey. With so many aggrandised stories being told as fact, this book seeks the truth from the one person who could provide it with complete authority - Susanne Geske - a truly remarkable woman. Married to a Martyr is a story of tragedy and hope.

    Susanne Geske tells her story to the author with a quiet dignity which is inspiring. From a broken home, Susanne spent time with foster parents as well as her birth parents and was unsure where she belonged. When she was twenty she left home to begin an apprenticeship in pottery and there one day, she met a Christian Pastor on her doorstep. Christianity had been no part of her childhood, neither birth nor foster parents were Christians, and this was an entirely new concept to her. The Pastor’s polite invitation to her, to come to his church the next Sunday, was to be the beginning of a new life. She moved to Switzerland for a job, and again accepted an invitation to go to church, this time with a friend, and it was while here that she gave her life to Christ and became a changed person. As her story continues we are told of her determination to learn more about the faith and the Bible, of her calling to serve in Turkey and how that comes about in company with her husband Tilmann. While serving in the city of Malatya, Tilmann and his colleagues are murdered, but Susanne and her children remain there to bear witness to their faith. Part of that witness is this book.
