Story
When he became God's smuggler, Brother Andrew (1928- ) was already familiar with risk. As a boy, the intrepid Andrew van der Bijl joined the Dutch Resistance against the Nazi occupation. As a young man, he fought eagerly in the Dutch East Indies - until the horror of war turned the adventure seeker to a life of alcohol and desperation. Redeemed by God, the Dutchman became a daring messenger of hope, smuggling Scripture through closed borders and equipping persecuted Christians behind the Iron Curtain.

Aboard the Aquitania, Rachel became aware of something strange happening to her. It was as if she were not on the deck of the ship anymore but was instead in a jungle clearing, looking at a group of brown-skinned, half-naked people. The people beckoned her to come. Suddenly the scene vanished, and Rachel fell to her knees and prayed.

When Lillian Trasher (1887-1961) founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian - certain of God's guidance - stood by her earlier promise to Him, "If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know - and I'll do it."

f Fantastic and inspiring
My 10 year old says this is her favorite all time story. The narrator was great and the story was well told and inspiring. There are some parts that were difficult emotionally and I would not recommend this for families with attentive younger children. My 8, 4, and 2 year olds did not pay attention, but this would have been too much had they been listening.

Great story!
This story was inspiring and a delightful listen. The life of Mary is full of ups and downs, far away adventures and still relatable to my life. The author has a lovely voice and was able to put a lot of life into her reading. Loved the accents she does. Overall I highly recommend this!

Amazing Faith followed by amazing action
This woman stepped out in faith to the point of risking her life over and over again because she put her trust completely in God. She didn’t let death of loved ones, malaria multiple times, or anything else deter her from sharing the Gospel with a primitive, dangerous culture in Africa. Her story is truly humbling and inspiring.

Incredible true story of one woman's commitment and courage to share Christ with those who others ignored. She knew the love of Christ and His love compelled her to go forward into uncharted territory. (2Corinthians 5:14) May I have the courage to follow Christ like she did.

What a great memoir!
I really enjoyed this book. As an African, I could relate to some of the traditions but was still shocked by what people you used to live like. Mary was surely a great hero and an inspiration to all of us reading her story over 100years later
