The incredible true story of one man's imprisonment for the gospel; his brokenness, God's faithfulness and his eventual freedom.
In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelised country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them.
What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave.
In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world.
This is Andrew's remarkable story of his imprisonment and journey of faith.

Brilliant and Honest account of a mans imprisonment in a very notorious jail.
I could not put this book down as I have read a great deal of Christians who are imprisoned for their faith and left wondering how on earth they seems to really get a sense of the Lord's presence so much, but with Andrew Bronson, he did not not have any of the closeness known to many Chinese people imprisoned for their faith. \\nI could see what the Lord was doing as he does with all of us. \\nTeaches us to reply wholly and utterly depend on him and I can see the Lord used this time for Andrew Bronson to bring him to the end of himself, but very, very painful. \\nThe reason why I enjoyed this book (as it was very sad but very honest). . . It just spoke volumes to me that just because you are in a hard place such as prison, life is hard! But, God is so wonderful too and the fact that he was released showed the mercy of our Mighty God.
