“Pas cu Pas.” In the Romanian language “pas cu pas” means “step by step.” This phrase is an apt description of how God guided and protected Simon and Wesley in their bold physical and spiritual journey from Romania to Canada.

In the pages of The Price of Freedom you will read a remarkable story of adventure, courage, mistakes and miracles. You’ll thrill to see how in spite of incredible odds, God led these two young men to freedom. From fearful nights as escaping fugitives to long days as “cargo” on the high seas; from police prisons to “container” prisons, and from the status of illegal aliens to that of honorable citizens, this tale will reveal the power and love of God, and will grip you from first page to last. But God led these two men to more than just political freedom! Along the convoluted path – pas cu pas – the promise of Proverbs 4:18 became theirs. They learned that indeed, “the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” In a few short years Simon and Wesley discovered more about God’s love than many discover in a lifetime! Through mistakes, set-backs, and steel prisons opened with little more than their bare hands, these two young men discovered a God who never lets go and who gives hope and courage when life is at its darkest.

It has been our privilege to personally become well acquainted with Simon and Wesley. Their remarkable story and profound witness has inspired our lives and blessed our family. As you read this book it is our prayer you will discover a God who is intimately interested in your life. The Price of Freedom will strengthen your faith and we dare say, make you bolder in your “pas cu pas” – “step by step” journey!
