A great read on so many levels.
5 Stars
A great read on so many levels.
First this is a great read and hard to put down, as not only is the story interesting from the get go as an biography of sorts, it's also a peek behind the Iron Curtain...(This 1967 edition was out when this Iron curtain talk was more in play. I suppose later editions might have some updates I'm not aware of)... and a glimpse of just how free we are, and how little we take stock of that. The book provides a peek behind the mystery of how God works...as no doubt to some that's what it is...a mystery.As I read more books on personal experiences of Trusting God, it's becoming clear that though God works in different ways all the time, there is a common thread in the trust and faith people put in him that, to non christians might sound impossible, or astounding...but to the Followers...it rings true(as concerning how faith works). This book is a bit like a window in seeing just how God can work in this world. Not so much the delivering of stuff we can see and touch, but the behind the scenes stuff that God himself does. That's what's neat about this book as the author does a good job of letting you see God at work. It can help you in your faith walk as you can see it works in the big but also in the small and grows as you grow.There was even a bit of how God works though the non christian shown here the author was not aware of or showed little sign of grasping. (two helpers were caught with the bibles and they were in in plain sight and another person asked them if they were bibles and bribed the guards to get them. That made the bibles available to people he never would have been able to contact ... a whole new avenue he could not have found)The book really is a great read on a few levels and well worth a read to Christians and the Curious...not just for "religeous" stuff, but for just plain intreague, suspence, romance, brushes with fear, faith building...so many things. And it doesn't preach to people, it just tells a story of what happened and how it happened. Great stuff. I'd known about this book for a long time and finaly had a copy fall in my lap and I wasn't dissapointed. a great read on so many levels.It did peter out near the end as it would have been nice to have more information on the helpers he aquired and their stories, but then I guess the book had to end some time.

It's a simple story about a man smuggling bibles and literature behind the Iron Curtain in the 50's and 60'. I enjoyed learning about his life growing up during WWII in Holland. There are so many things we take for granted today and reading this book makes me realize just how lucky we are in the U.S. I just wish the young people today would read this book and realize how fragile our freedoms are.

God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew was an incredible true story. Andrew grew up in a very poor family in Nazi-occupied Holland. It's a journey from unbelief to becoming a Bible smuggler behind the Iron Curtain which was dangerous. Early in his life, he rebelled against God and then returned back to Him. Because of Andrew and others that joined his team, they were able to distribute millions of Bibles in Communist countries. The incredible stories of how God moved and provided along every step were so inspiring as Andrew trusted God for his every need. The prices they were willing to pay to profess Christ was humbling.

Such a testimony of how we should live out our faith as believers. He was willing to do whatever it took, at all costs, to provide the Word to those without Bibles. The power of prayer was so evident that it jumped off the pages stirring my heart to conviction! Reading about the persecuted church brought tears of thankfulness because we take for granted the privilege of freely worshiping together with other believers!! They had complete dependence on God and were willing even to be imprisoned. I highly recommend this book. The power of God is laced throughout this entire book.

'I hope that my life demonstrates that there is no more exciting mission than following Jesus wherever He leads me.'.... Brother Andrew

Brother Andrew challenges us, as Christians, to share the gospel with others. This book is about his life (growing up with his family), and his work that shared Jesus with the world (smuggling Bibles into Communist countries). It is a thrilling story filled with examples of how Jesus changes lives, and meets every need.
