"I couldn't put it down as I began to read . . . and I was stirred to tears as I read of Georgy Slesarev, first violinist of Moscow's Bolshoi Theater.

I enthusiastically commend it to you." -Cliff Barrows, Billy Graham Association "This book is a MUST for every Christian who wants to know what it means to be a witness and what it was like to be a believer under Communism. I had to ask myself, Would I be that strong if faced with Georgy's choice? They Could Not Stop the Music is a book on the level of The Persecutor." -Jerome Hines, Opera Singer, retired, Metropolitan Opera, New York "They Could Not Stop the Music rivets the reader's attention with one of the most thoroughly documented accounts of martyrdom in the twentieth century. Here is a faithful record of the life of a first violinist of the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra who went to his death with an unwavering faith in Christ. READ THE BOOK! Your idea of 'witnessing' will never be the same again!" -Tom Elliff, Pastor. First Southern Baptist Church, Del City, Oklahoma
Autorenporträt
Ron "Grah Grah" Owens was born in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada. His father, John Thomas Owens, was a church planter, and as a result, the family lived throughout the eastern Canadian provinces before moving to Switzerland. Ron's early interests were largely focused on ice hockey and track in which he won considerable recognition for his achievements in both. After returning to North America to further his studies, he cultivated his love for music as well. Ron met his wife, Patricia, in a music conservatory in Rochester, NY, and together they travelled in North America and many other countries as a music team. They have written many songs and several musicals that have been translated and performed in other languages. Ron is also the author of several biographies, books on worship, and an English/Russian language book of poetry published by Moscow's Center for World Culture. Ron and Patricia have one son, Jeff, a daughter-in-law, Jessica, and two grandsons, Ethan and Evan.
