Average customer review:Product Description
When the phenomenal success of God's Smuggler made it too dangerous for his contacts in the underground church, Brother Andrew decided he could not return to Eastern Europe. He quietly turned his attention the the Middle East, and for the last thirty-five years he has been serving the Christian Church there as well as witnessing to Jews and Muslims. His impassioned message is that there is a radical Christian approach to the stalemate of Middle East conflict. Only the gospel of love has the answer, and Christians are called to allow God to use them to demonstrate the example of Jesus. Light Force brings Brother Andrew's story right up to date. It is every bit as exciting as God's Smuggler, as Andrew has put his life on the line time and again in God's service. Light Force is a God's Smuggler for the 21st Century - this amazing man is once again unashamedly carrying the gospel where few dare to tread.

Enlightening
"Light Force" is a marvellous book documenting the struggle of Christianity in the crisis stricken country of Palestine. The reader is given a firsthand account of the troubles that face the population of this troubled state. The focus of this book is to enlighten the reader of the dire state of Christianity in this troubled country. The book follows the visits of Brother Andrew to Palestine as he assesses, and strengthens, the dwindling Christian congregation.
One achievement has succeeded in bring together people from the two feuding sides of Israel and Palestine, this is the project called "Musalaha". This was a unique project conceived by the local Jewish and Palestinian Christian community that made a real, and successful, effort to deal with the root causes of the conflict in the Middle East.
Amidst the bleak outlook of all the bloody conflicts, efforts like `Musahala' give hope to a very troubled area, and show that through the work of God, Christian ministries can make a difference.
This book is a very enjoyable and enlightening read, and it bolsters one's strength to see Gods work in action.
