When the phenomenal success of God's Smuggler made it too dangerous for his contacts in the underground church, Brother Andrew decided he could not return to Eastern Europe. He quietly turned his attention the the Middle East, and for the last thirty-five years he has been serving the Christian Church there as well as witnessing to Jews and Muslims.

His impassioned message is that there is a radical Christian approach to the stalemate of Middle East conflict. Only the gospel of love has the answer, and Christians are called to allow God to use them to demonstrate the example of Jesus.

Light Force brings Brother Andrew's story right up to date. It is every bit as exciting as God's Smuggler, as Andrew has put his life on the line time and again in God's service. Light Force is a God's Smuggler for the 21st Century - this amazing man is once again unashamedly carrying the gospel where few dare to tread.

Review:

'It is imperative that Christians in the West seek understanding of the crisis in the Middle East. This amazing book explains and illustrates like no other the conflict - political and spiritual - and its devastating effect on human lives.'

'I know no one with more experience of the persecuted Church than Brother Andrew. This book is a passionate call for Christians to engage the issue of the Middle East.'

Steve Gaukroger

(Steve Gaukroger)

'This riveting page-turner goes behind the news stories of conflict in Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories, to the ideological and spiritual struggles that underlie them. Brother Andrew courageously stirs up the demoralised churches and Christian leaders caught up in the maelstrom, and dialogues with top representatives of the PLO and Hamas terrorist organisations, seeking to place Bibles in their hands and the true Gospel in their hearts.

'The result is a uniquely personal, moving, and provocative account of the ugly rise of militant Islam, suicide bombers, and the implacable hatred and fear on all sides of the conflict, yet it is full of empathy for all the victims, especially the suffering Palestinian Christians . It addresses the challenges facing God's people today, and is guaranteed to unsettle many entrenched positions as it points the way to true and lasting solutions, namely, a strong and vigorous Church bearing witness to a strong and powerful Saviour who alone can bring peace to the world'.

The first book I ever read was God Smuggle by Brother Andrew. The impact of that book remains with me today. I'm sure that Light Force will have the same impact on many. An incredible story that teaches us much about love & faith, boldness and compassion. (Mike Pilavachi)
