Learn moreAs a boy, he dreamed of being an undercover spy behind enemy lines. As a man, he found himself undercover for God. Brother Andrew was his name, and for decades, his life story has awed and inspired millions. This bestselling memoir recounts the incredible efforts of the young Dutch factory worker to transport Bibles across closed borders, and the miraculous ways in which God provided for him every step of the way.
Told it was impossible to minister behind the Iron Curtain, Andrew knew that nothing was too hard for God. "Lord," he prayed, "in my luggage I have scripture I want to take to your children. When you were on earth, You made blind eyes see. Now, I pray, make seeing eyes blind. Do not let the guards see those things you do not want them to see." And they never did.
Brother Andrew (Andrew van der Bijl) was born in Sint Pancras, the Netherlands, and studied at WEC Missionary Training College in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1955 he began smuggling bibles to Christians behind the Iron Curtain. That work has since developed into Open Doors International, a world-wide nondenominational missionary organization.When not traveling, Brother Andrew makes his home in the Netherlands.

Reviews
“Tension builds page by page in this remarkable true document…more thrilling than a spy story with its numerous near escapes and mounting climaxes of danger.”
“An almost incredible account of courageous men and women risking their lives as champions of Christianity…Everyone who reads this book will be unforgettably inspired.”
“This story shows in its matter-of-fact style just how hard it was for people of faith to live behind the Iron Curtain. The events in this book are often beyond belief. [Simon Vance] does a splendid job reading this ‘adventure.’ His soft English accent brings out much of the author’s humility, and wonder, in this journey.”
