Bearing the Cross - Book Two continues Dr. John M. Cobin's unflinching account of his more than five years of wrongful imprisonment in Chile, charges that arose from a clear act of self-defense and that physical evidence and forensics show he did not commit. Picking up inside the walls of Valparaíso, Part 2 descends deeper into daily brutality, the machinery of extortion, hunger, and the constant threat of violence that defined life behind bars. An American-born scholar of Italian descent, a Baptist pastor, a father of seven and grandfather of seven, Cobin writes not for sympathy but for truth, refusing to let injustice be buried in silence. What emerges is a testimony of faith tested by persecution, of dignity preserved under degradation, and of a man who held to conviction when everything was stripped away. Honest, harrowing, and ultimately redemptive, this First Edition memoir bears witness to suffering and to the grace that outlasts it.
