Married to a martyr
On April 18 2007, three Christians were brutally murdered in an office block in Malatya, Turkey. One of those killed was German missionary, Tilmann Geske. His widow, Susanne, has now co-operated with a book, Married to a Martyr, in which she tells the story not only of that dreadful day but of her life of faith and their marriage.

Born in Germany, Susanne was converted as a young woman, and soon found herself at Bible college. Work for a small church followed, and there she met a man who initially did not impress her at all — Tilmann Geske. As she wrote in her journal, ‘This guy is embarassing. He just mumbles all the time. I can’t understand what he is saying, and his haircut is awful.’
