In his most incredible and eye-opening book to date, Brother Andrew invites you to meet brave men and women you never knew existed. This is the riveting true story of the Church in Islamic countries struggling to come to grips with hostile governments, terrorist acts, and an influx of Muslims coming to Christ. The names and places have been changed to protect the real people in the real places. But the stories are true.Now available in paperback, Secret Believers not only gives you a glimpse of the lives of these courageous believers, it also proposes four practical initiatives for Christians in the West to help these persecuted brothers and sisters. It calls us to join a new kind of jihad, leaving vengeance behind in favor of forgiveness, radical love, and unyielding prayer.
What an enlightening book. Everyone in the free world should read this and appreciate the freedom of religion that we have. We live here in this culture and never give a thought to how people in other parts of the world live and what they have to deal with, especially if they are Christians in Muslim countries. I have added the Muslim countries to my daily prayer list. I only wish I could do more.
I was touched by this book - excellent read

I found this book to be an excellent read and very hard to put down. It chronicles the intertwining lives of several Muslims who converted from Islam to Christianity. All of their stories were different; but, very inspiring to read about. The book takes you back and forth into their lives as each life story unfolds and several become connected to each other. I was touched deeply by this book. It was very well written and you feel as if you are right there living through the persecution with them. Those who practice religion freely need to be there in a much stronger showing of support for the persecuted. This I am certain of.
Challenging, thought-provoking, stirring!

I couldn't put the book down. Not only do I admire Brother Andrew for his courage to speak out on a time-sensitive issue such as he covered in his book, but I also deeply appreciate his conviction to challenge other believers to reach out to instead of alienate their Muslim neighbors. It challenged me to follow his example and to be a better follower of Jesus' command to "go into all the world" and "make disciples of all nations".

The book gives a better comprehension of the severe penalties Muslims face when they choose Christianity. It is almost incomprehensible to Christians living in the United States to realize this type of persecution still exists. Pastors will relate to the immense task of shepherding as new Muslim believers are in need of "safe houses", employment, and doctrinal training in their new faith. I felt myself drawn to continue reading this book even when I did not have time in my schedule to do so. My admiration for the perseverance and testimonies of these MBBs has increased tremendously.
