A Year with Andrew White

A Year with Andrew White is not a book of "feel good" meditations. Canon White takes us into the real world. Having spent most of his life ministering and being a peace negotiator in the Middle East (especially Bagdad and Jerusalem) he makes us readers face the horrific truths of a suffering world which includes kidnapping and terrorism. A world that is almost unrecognisable to readers in the comfortable West. With each daily meditation throughout the year Andrew White confronts us with the sadnesses and pain that is part of the daily life in the Middle East. However, Andrew White insists that "the true solution to pain, destruction and death is love." This book is therefore one that will bring comfort, healing, encouragement and hope to his readers. * David Suchet, CBE *
In this moving book Andrew White, dear friend and colleague, welcomes us all into the deepest intimacy of the tears and turmoil of his life as he takes us to the heart of his relationship with God in Christ. Within his prophetic and passionate advocacy of the poor and persecuted, we find a Christian leader wrestling with doubt and difficulties, faith and failure - and finding the Lord sufficient in all circumstances. To be truly honest, I find it amazing that in spite of health issues that would leave most of us crushed and helpless, Andrew carries on his inspiring and international work which continues to change lives. Read this book; it may change yours! * George Carey (Baron Carey of Clifton), 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury *
