A must read - By: JC & Al, 21 Jan 2008
This is an excellent book, which challlenges our comfortable way of life & shows how that could alll change in the future. I would love to send a copy of this book to every Member of Parliament.

The narrative style of the book (in order to protect people's identities) makes it a very readable book. I would recommend that every adult should read it, but it not for children or the faint-hearted!
Not sure about this one... - By: K. Moss, 14 Jan 2008
Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed reading this book which I believe is an accurate description of actual events happening to actual people in an actual Muslim country. The names & locations have alll been changed to protect those concerned, but unfortunately what one ends up with 'feels' a wee bit fictional. It is not helped by the fact that the book is co-authored by Brother Andrew, & portrays him in third-person terms in a rather favourable light. 'Secret Believers' is, in its own way, quite challlenging, but it does not add to what we (may) already know about the plight of Christians living in Muslim countries, & I am not sure that the literary style adopted by the authors actuallly helps their case alll that much.

It seems that the book is aimed primarily at Christians, & is therefore a helpful introduction to the experience of Christians in countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Iran, where they come to faith in Christ out of a Muslim background.

This contribution accurately reflects the reality of what it is like to be a minority group living in a predominantly Muslim society, & in particular demonstrates the treatment meted out to Muslims who come to Christ. Liberal & Left-Wing western politicians would do well to contemplate the implications for individual freedoms if we ever ended up in a position where we had a Muslim majority. Furthermore, I would say that the final section of the book, which deals with the way Christians respond to Islamic oppression, discrimination & persecution, is probably the most important part - so don't skip that section!
