Secret Believers: What Happens When Muslims Believe in Christ - Softcover

"As riveting and fast-paced as any well-written novel."--Library Journal

In his most incredible and eye-opening book to date, Brother Andrew invites you to experience the riveting true story of the Church in Islamic countries. In the Middle East, Christians struggle 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.

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.

"Brother Andrew and Al Janssen reveal the amazing stories of those who witness the love of One they once refused and passionately searched for until they found Him, even in the face of great opposition."--Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker
Brother Andrew began taking Bibles to Christians behind closed borders in 1955. That work has since developed into Open Doors International. He is the author and coauthor of numerous books, including God's Smuggler. Brother Andrew makes his home in the Netherlands.

Al Janssen has co-written or authored more than twenty-five books, including Light Force. He is a member of the board for Open Doors (USA) with Brother Andrew and is director of communications for Open Doors International. Janssen lives in Colorado.

In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul says, "I have fought the good fight." In the Arabic translation those last three words are rendered "the good jihad." Whether we want to be or not, we are engaged in this fight. But it is not the same fight that we see on the news. It is a spiritual battle. How are we Christians going to respond? With guns and bombs? Is that really our only option? This approach won't win a spiritual war. So just how do we fight a good spiritual jihad? To answer this question, we will look at a group of Christians who live under Islam. Yes, there is a church in the Islamic world. In some cases, the church is hidden and barely surviving. In other countries there has been a church since the time of Pentecost. These churches have seen the rise and advance of Islam. Often they have suffered terribly. We in the West have a crucial part to play in the good fight.
