Daily encounters with danger and death lead to greater faith
As the minister of St George's Anglican Church, Baghdad, Andrew
White encounters daily tragedy, yet he remains a man of profound
faith. Under constant threat of death, shadowed by bodyguards, he
builds and encourages and loves and consoles his beleaguered
congregation.
In this candid book he squarely answers the questions that his
circumstances force into the open. What happened to his faith, for
example, when a young girl in his congregation died, after much
hope and prayer? He is trusted by all sides in this tormented
region, and has met the best and worst: articulate, agreeable imams
and rabbis; Christian venality and dishonesty. What has kept him
willing to see the best?
Every time he returns to Iraq, he may be saying goodbye to his
family for the last time. What do they think? He suffers from MS.
How does he remain cheerful despite his physical weakness, and its
progression? What does he say to God, alone in his study, late at
night? He has been caught up in momentous events. Can he see the
hand of God? Looking ahead, can he be optimistic about the future?
Where are his sources of spiritual energy? He solicits prayer:
why?
