About the Author

Brother Andrew began his work in 1955 as a one-man mission-visiting, teaching, and taking Bibles to Christians behind closed borders. That work has since developed into Open Doors International, a nondenominational organization with bases around the world. When not traveling, Brother Andrew makes his home in the Netherlands.

From the Back Cover

"Pay attention to the call of God in your everyday life-and then follow it. Because it is here that we can begin changing the world." -Brother Andrew Have you ever had someone say, "You can't do that"? That's what Bible smuggler Brother Andrew and persecuted Christians around the world often hear as they set out to do what God asks of them. But it doesn't stop them from answering The Calling-even when it may cost them their life! What is God asking you to do for him? And how can you have the courage to follow through no matter what the circumstances? In The Calling, you'll discover ten simple, straightforward steps for hearing God's voice, responding to his call, and spreading Christ's love in extraordinary ways. You'll be inspired by Brother Andrew's gripping true-life tales of bringing banned Christian literature into communist China, turbulent Africa, and repressive Muslim nations. And you'll gain courage from the amazing testimonies of people of different ages and cultures who are passionately living out their faith in spite of intense persecution. Walk the narrow road and experience God's calling for yourself. Life will never be the same-and neither will you!

From the Inside Flap

"Our faith in Christ must become a way of life, wherever we are. When that happens, it won't be long before you begin to see the entire world, and your part in it, with different eyes. You will discover that God is opening doors for you to serve him in ways you never thought were possible." Brother Andrew began his work in 1955 as a one-man mission-visiting, teaching, and taking Bibles to Christians behind the Iron Curtain. That work has since developed into Open Doors, a nonprofit organization with bases around the world. In 1997, Brother Andrew was the recipient of the World Evangelical Fellowship's Religious Liberty Award, recognizing his lifetime of service to the persecuted Church. When not traveling, Brother Andrew lives in the Netherlands with his wife, Corrie. They have five children and four grandchildren.
