Biography
God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew
 Meet the man who founded Open Doors. It all started in a little country called the Netherlands where God called Andrew to go to the Christians who were being persecuted behind the Iron Curtain. So Andrew went, first, with only a few Bibles and just one car. And in thirty years it grew to an international organisation supporting persecuted Christians worldwide.
This book has inspired millions of people, including myself. It looks at the real life of a missionary, alone on the road, in a strange place, far away from home and with all the troubles, struggles, worries and doubts that fill every Christian from time to time. It is a story of what can happen if we just listen to God and do as he says.
In recent years, Brother Andrew has shifted his attention to the Middle East. This story can be read in his second book Light Force.
End of the Spear by Steve Saint - (Hardback) £8.99
 Fifty years ago the savage massacre of five missionaries in the Jungles of Equador made news headlines all over the world. Their deaths at the hands of the Waodani Indians, better known at that time as ‘Aucas’ (savage killers), inspired hundreds of Christians to commit their lives to mission in the following decades. Meanwhile, within months, the sister of one of the missionaries went to live amongst the Waodani and teach them about ‘God’s carvings’ and how to ‘walk His trail’.
In 1994 Rachel Saint died and Steve Saint, son of pilot Nate Saint, returned to Equador for his aunt’s funeral. While there he learnt for the first time the background to the massacre, from one of his father’s killers. The Waodani asked him to return to Equador and help them deal with the challenges presented by modern “civilisation”. This is the story of how Steve Saint returned with his family to live in primitive conditions to help the Waodani develop basic health care and even to fly, whilst retaining their independence and much of their traditional lifestyle. But the experienced also changed Steve Saint and the direction of his life.
This book has also been made into a movie.

As an eyewitness to history Georges reveals Saddam’s plans to destroy Israel and dominate the entire Arab world.
