This incredible true story of smuggling Bibles to Christians behind the Iron Curtain
This incredible story combines heart-stopping adventure, broken lives transformed and the realities of spiritual warfare, all rolled together in a page-turning thriller set behind the Iron Curtain. Most riveting of all is that this is a true story, which has inspired and challenged generations of Christians since its first publication almost forty years ago.
Following the rise of Communism after the Second World War, Christians behind the Iron Curtain had never felt more alone. Persecuted for their faith they wondered whether they had been forgotten by their fellow Christians around the world.
But God was calling a young Dutchman, Andrew, to be his ambassodor to the faithful. Smuggling a few, then hundreds, then thousands of Bibles across dangerous borders and into needy hands, he risked his life time and again to bring hope to those who needed it most.
This classic book has sold over ten million copies in English alone. This edition includes a new Foreword and Epilogue to update Andrew's story and underline its continuing relevance to a whole generation of readers.
