Brother Andrew is the well-known Dutch author of God's Smuggler. What is less well known is that he has spent much of the last few years travelling in the Middle East. The majority of this easy to read and yet challenging book recounts the story of converts to Christianity in a Muslim country. Although fictional, the story is based on real-life situations known to the authors and makes sobering reading as they recount the challenges, persecution and eventual martyrdom faced by these faithful believers. Remarkably after such an account the message of the remainder of the book is not that Christians should fear Muslims or be resentful, but rather it is a challenge to a good jihad" that would bring hope to the Muslim world. Andrew presents four challenges to the church today: "to love all Muslims by giving them the Good News, to forgive when we are attacked, to live lives totally committed to Jesus Christ, and to engage in the real war - the spiritual war". He suggests that the only hope for the world is if millions of Christians learn to love Muslims with Christ's love. This will certainly be costly but he challenges Christians to pray - "and pay the price."… (altro)

I read this straight after reading "God Smuggler" which is Brother Andrew's first book. It find it incredible that he moved his ministry from one part of the world to somewhere completely different and then just carried on working for God. This is the main lesson I took from the two books. It was because of the phenomenal success of "God Smuggler" that he was prevented from returning to Eastern Europe. Maybe at this point most of us would've given up and taken the easy option but not Brother Andrew. He prayed for direction and believed God was calling him to the Middle East.

Light Force describes his ministry there amongst Churches mainly witnessing to Muslims in many different settings. His courage is a challenge and an inspiration as he looks to God to protect him from those who have terror on their minds and in their hearts. The level of detail is very interesting as he describes the conflict from the perspective of Christians and Muslims on both sides of the Israel/Palestinian divide.

I have given this 4 stars purely due to some charismatic content which I don't subscribe to but as with his first book this is not the focus of the book. I would recommend this book to those wanting to understand the roots of the conflict in the Middle East from a Biblical perspective and also to those looking for inspiration for missionary work.
