"Secret Believers"
by Brother Andrew
A foreign culture, with a belief in Jesus but not the Messiah and Lord that  Christians profess. A culture where true belief in Christ can be a death sentence. Where accurate information about Christianity can be hard to come by, and the ability to assess the truth of information about it is difficult to obtain. Where people you know and love exercise hatred toward Christianity, America, and professing Christians. Like you.
Become immersed in a forbidden culture - that of Christians in lands where it is a capital crime to be so. The prose draws you into the story, the true story of these courageous men and women, who have forsaken friends, family, safety, and sometimes their own lives for the sake of Christ. The first, larger part of the book chronicles over a decade of drama, intrigue, revelations, and trials of these outlaw believers and the Christians who risk everything to be in a place to help them. Part two challenges readers to respond to the issues and truths covered in the first part, and gently leads concerned parties to proper attitudes towards Muslims and issues surrounding this highly volatile modern reality.
