This book should be read by every Christian. It shames our American Christian comfort and ambivalence. It calls for a complete change of mind that renews our faith and returns it to what Christ called us to be in the beginning. ( )

NCLA Review -Secret Believers reads like a novel, but shapes actual experiences of Christians and new Muslim converts into a single narrative to shield their identities. We’ve heard about persecution of Christians in Muslim countries, but Brother Andrew, who has devoted years to encouraging and guiding Christians in hostile countries, has seen it face to face. He shows the particular challenge Christian churches face, and the courage and wisdom required to be a missional church where death is the penalty for Christian proselytizing. Brother Andrew’s own example teaches much about evangelism. His gentle and humble manner, willingness to dialogue and focus on common ground with Muslims, great patience and maturity—all play a part in enabling conversions. Then there’s the question of what to do with converts, many of whom initially flee to new surroundings but often return to their communities to witness. They face not only discrimination and broken family ties, but beatings, kidnappings, torture, and worse. But when Muslims are encouraged to learn more about their prophet, Jesus, his love often captures their hearts and they become willing to lay their lives on the line for him. It’s a real eye opener that belongs in every church library. Rating: 4 —DKW ( )

Most of the book is written as a novel with stories of MBBs interwoven. Really shows the situation they face. Last part is all about what we can do. Very good; challenging. ( )

Great read. All names changed to protect the identities of the former Muslims who are now born again Christians. Eye opening and challenging. ( )
