As chronicled by TWR founder Dr. Paul E. Freed, Towers to Eternity is the story of Trans World Radio’s beginnings and how, through faith, it became known as one of the most powerful missionary radio networks in the world.

Read an excerpt:
I had never been a radio enthusiast. I knew a lot more about ten dozen other things than I did about radio. And it seemed rather strange that, with so many radio hams in the world, the Lord would put His finger on me for the broadcasting venture into Europe.

My mind and heart were gripped by the potential of the air waves. It seems that radio could move across all boundaries, over the walls, through the ‘curtains,’ like nothing else. I thought of the world’s masses of people as “one world,” with the same basic needs of the heart. I knew that every individual had the right to be reached. I was sure that in God’s perspective all people were beloved by Him, that with Him there were no barriers, no differences. The issue had emerged clearly. Our goal as believers comprising the Church of Jesus Christ was to reach people everywhere, without exception. Reaching them by radio was not just a theory either, for we knew that over there on the European continent there was the largest concentration of radio sets for the population anywhere in the world outside the Unites States.

Here was the force that could move across the mountains, into the valleys, through the hamlets and olive groves and vineyards. Here was the force that could slip into the minds and hearts of the shopkeepers, the matadors, the dockhands, the vendors, the artisans, the farmers. Here was the signal that could penetrate the lavish mansions of the nobility, and the earthen homes of the peasants and bring life to all who would take it.

My heart was aflame with a passion to tell all those people that Jesus Christ loved them, that He died for them, that He rose again and is alive today. All they had to do was believe. BUT, they must first hear.
