He drove some distance to a country
where the Christians there
could not get jobs or go to school
and Bibles were quite rare.
He thought, It is so easy to
get Bibles in my land.
I must bring them to Christians who
can’t get them in their hands.
Though he was only twelve years old, young Brother Andrew (1928-2022) snuck out late at night, passing out secret messages during World War II to help his native Holland break free from Nazi occupation. Following the war’s end, Andrew fought eagerly for his country in the Dutch East Indies and then, returning to Holland, discovered a new life of adventure transporting Bibles to countries where they were strictly forbidden.
Despite danger and uncertainty, his international ministry, Open Doors, continues to take Bibles to closed-off countries throughout the world. Now Heroes for Young Readers makes Brother Andrew’s remarkable story available in this picture book that all ages will treasure.
