Publisher's summary

As 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 best-selling 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.

Critic reviews

"Robert Whitfield does a splendid job reading this 'adventure.' His soft English accent brings out much of the author's humility, and wonder, in this journey." ( AudioFile)
"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." ( Los Angeles Times)

Inspiring

Great book! Really enjoyed this, talks about faith and what it can do to change your many lives for the better.

An incredible journey

I didn't know what to expect when I began listening to this story but I was instantly caught up in Andrew's struggle to find his way. Andrew's journey is awe inspiring and humbling.
This audio book is beautiful read as well.

A Joy to read

What did you love best about God's Smuggler?

God's smuggler is a story of Brother Andrew who, despite the risks to his life and freedom, smuggled Bibles into the Iron Curtain countries. But it's so much more than that! I love the complete dependence on God providing everything Brother Andrew needed in his work. Money would just appear. Br. Andrew's faith was incredible.

What did you like best about this story?

This gave me a real lift when I needed it. Christmas is coming and I have been too busy to really think about what it means. This reconnected me to God.

Inspiring

This is a compelling journey of faith and total trust in God's care.
Thank you brother Andrew!

What an inspiration!

The obedience and trust in God under seemingly insurmountable odds is incredible. The way the book is written and read makes one think that, they too, can succeed in this type of endeavor.

Encouraging

This true story is encouraging and exciting showing God's provision, protecting and faithfulness. It also shows that we can all have a hand in God work!!

Great Book

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great story and testimony of the Lord's provision in the mission field.

Very inspiring book!

This book reminded me that God cares for even the smallest things in our life. Many small miracles have happened to me while reading it, it kept me praying more, asking God for even the littlest things we need, including money, provided it is His will for us.

Most enjoyable!

well written, very inspiring , great reminder of God's power...narrated beautifully, wonderfully described through faith.

Deeply Inspiring! Couldn’t stop listening!

Brother Andrew’s life has impacted the world...but I had forgotten the mind blowing details over the years. I read the book decades ago, and this audio version brought it right back to life! The reader was fantastic—so believable, fluid, and flawless with the various accents (except maybe the Cuban one, sorry!). Thank you for including this in the Audible subscription. It was a treasure to find and seriously uplifting.
