Secret Believers

Here are the terrifying true stories of the men and women- born Muslims and still living in strick Islamic states- who have chosen to convert to Christianity.

While most Islamic countries around the world claim to tolerate freedom for believers of all religions to practice their faith, the reality for isolated Christiasn groups and individuals is very different. Thousands of 'Muslim Background Believers' suffer daily persecution:

• Rejected by their families and shunned by local communities
• Prohibited from sharing their faith
• Threatened and- in extreme cases- beaten and even killed by extremist Muslims

"God's Smuggler", Brother Andrew, has been working tirelessly among these oppressed Christians for many years, providing them with practical resources and spiritual encouragement to continue living faithfully against all human odds. In Secret Believers, he tells their stories to the rest of the world for the first time, and shows us how we, who are privileged in practising our faith without fear of persecution, can support those who are not.

Although presented in the form of a novel, the stories are those of real people living in the world today. Brother Andrew has changed names and identities for their protection.

BROTHER ANDREW is a missionary who founded Open Doors International, now a worldwide ministry to the persecuted church. His first book, God's Smuggler, became an international bestseller with over ten million copies sold in English.

AL JASSEN is writer-in-residence for Open Doors International, with over twenty-five books to his name, and accompanied Brother Andrew on most of his trips to the Islamic world.
