I had never read anything by Canon Andrew White before, although I have seen him on television, heard of his work and admire him greatly. The book was by turn hilarious and thought-provoking. It’s the subject is a truly amazing person who, despite wresting with ill-health for most of his life, is a man of incredible faith, courage and compassion.

Many people of modern Western churches and denominations may be of the opinion that Anglicans are not ‘proper Christians’, even Canon White himself believed this at first, but his story helps challenge such preconceptions. For me, there was no doubt that the Canon truly knows God, is saved, and is faithful in following God’s leading on his life- even though this has sent him to some of the most dangerous places and situations on earth.

Some may question his friendship with figures such as Yasser Arafat and Tariq Aziz, but his love for the people of the Middle East, and motive to help foster peace and reconciliation are undeniably real. A great story of an Amazing man, which some valuable messages about loving, judging and trusting in seemingly impossible situations. A great edition to anyone's inspirational collection.

I received a copy of this book free from the publisher, Lion Hudon for the purposes of review. I was not required to write a positive one and all opinions expressed are my own.

This book was not exactly what I expected. I didn't expect an Anglican priest to be so evangelical or familiar with signs and wonders. It was an easy short read, but I appreciated it.

I appreciated--especially coming an Anglican--his insistance on the importance of maintaining an intimate communication with God.
I appreciated his combination of that insistence with a focus on reconciliation, aid, and interreligious dialogue ("social" Gospel).
I appreciated his robust theology of suffering with hope.
I appreciated his very humble emphasis on signs and wonders, without being oppressive.

Despite being too ill to serve as an Anglican vicar in the UK Andrew works in Baghdad! An incredible story of a 21st century peacemaker.
