I am reviewing a copy of Gods Hostage through Baker Books and Netgalley:
Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey in 1993 the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Despite being hesitant because of the because of the dangerous and daunting task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife Norine believed that this was the plan God had for them.
They dealt with a lot of threats and attacks, but they also found success in starting new churches, in a place where many had never met a Christian.
When Andrew and Norine’s work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, they acknowledged the threat but they also accepted the risk that lie before then. They were determined to stay, until God told them to go.
It was in 2016, that they were arrested, the State eventually released Norine who stayed in Turkey, but Andrew was imprisoned. He was accused of being a spy as well as accusing him of being amongst the plotters of the attempted coup, he quickly became a political pawn whose story soon circulated around the world.
I give God’s Hostage five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
