Brother Andrew's ministry began with smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. His phenomenally successful book God's Smuggler was born from that mission.

But as communism in Eastern Europe declined, Brother Andrew shifted his focus to strengthening the Christian church within the Islamic world. In a time when a mass exodus of Christians has drained the Middle East of God's light, Brother Andrew headed into this war-torn land to bring hope and encouragement to those who remained.

Light Force recounts the continuing saga of Brother Andrew's most recent mission. Through dramatic true stories, readers get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at real people affected by the centuries-old conflicts in this volatile part of the world. Now readers can join Brother Andrew and fellow Open Doors missionary Al Janssen in their quest to strengthen God's light in the Middle East. These gripping accounts of Christians caught in the crossfire will captivate readers everywhere.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

These are the stories you haven't heard on the news. These are the people you will never forget.

In the midst of never-ending debates, protests, riots, suicide bombings, and broken peace initiatives, one man came to make a difference. Previously known for his determination to deliver Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, Brother Andrew has spent the last thirty years on a very different quest. Traveling to Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel, Brother Andrew has sought out church leaders and urged them not to flee the violence but to stay and strengthen their congregations to become a force for change. His mission: to bring hope to the believers caught in the crossfire of the most volatile region on earth.

"This is a book that invites applause and criticism. It will edify and offend, fostering healthy and much-needed discussion and debate in the Western Church."-Randy Alcorn, author, Safely Home

"This man's courage is not just a case of bravado on steroids."-Charisma magazine

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 and The Narrow Road.

Al Janssen has cowritten or authored more than twenty-five books. He is chairman of the board for Open Doors (USA) and is director of communications for Open Doors International. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Wonderful Christian response on the Palestinian Question.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

Brother Andrew who wrote God's Smuggler sheds unusual light on the Palestinian Question which was very balanced. It caused me to change my 100% Christian Zionist position to become more balanced. Before I would have thought this was a heretical position but I was unaware of some historical facts.

Nothing short of amazing

I began this book as an ardent supporter of Israel, well aware of the unfair standards to which Israel is held above all other nations. I left this journey with a new love for Arab Christians and a need to pray for both Jews and Palestinians

This was a well written story about reaching out to people in despair. My heart goes out to those in need, Palestinian and Jewish alike.

The story of Brother Andrew and his journeys to spread God's word is one of the most inspiring stories I have read. Brother Andrew never counted the cost this might have been on his life but was committed with his whole heart and soul for God's mission. His book "God's Smuggler" is just as inspiring also! Reading Brother Andrew's journeys has made me more resolved in spreading of the Gospel!

This book is more than a series of stories; it shows Christians around the World how to truly love, pray for, and support ALL Christians, including Messianic Jews and Palestinian and Arab Christians!

A Revealing Insider's Account of the Church's Struggle in the MIddle East

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2006

Verified Purchase

Light Force is a real eye-opener, presenting the plight of Christians caught in the crosshairs of the Middle East battle. Christians are right to support Israel--obeying God's command to "bless them." At the same time, we should not ignore our brothers and sisters in Palestine who are often lumped in with the worst of the terrorists and jihadists.

Kudos to Brother Andrew for having the courage to share Christ with Hamas leaders and other dangerous men. He's right when he says that this is the only way to change the world.

Fortunately, for Christians, we have hope. Jesus is our only hope for peace and stability in this world.

I would encourage American believers to read Light Force, if only to help them realize that not all Palestinians are terrorists. In fact, most aren't. Most just want to live their lives as we do.

God bless Brother Andrew for his life and work.

In light of ISSI, Light Force is all the more relevant and offers a Christian response

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

In light of the recent surge in ISSI persecution of believers in the Middle East, Light Force is all the more relevant and offers a Christian response for believers in the West. If your wish to be an encouragement by prayer and financial support to the beaten down indigenous church in the Middle East, read this thought provoking work by Brother Andrew and Al Janssen. Pray and dig into your pocketbook to support ministries to the indigenous church--like Open Doors and Christian Aid Mission. They have decades of experience in helping indigenous believers do their ministry.

Very challenging book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

It was not easy to understand WHY Christian Palestinians would choose to stay in the wartorn areas of Bethlehem, Netanya, and Gaza and confinded to home for more than 1 month at a time with no food or job; however, this is what happened. Brother Andrew's ministry of encouragement in the midst of horrifying conditons and of needed understanding speaks loud and true. From this book we realize understand that answers do not come from taking sides and hastily made answers.
