Brother, I Have Come To Arrest You

£10.00

Brother, I have come to arrest you is the compelling story of Release International partner Dr Berhane Asmelash, from Eritrea. Now based in the UK, Dr Berhane was at one time imprisoned for his faith in Christ. He has subsequently gone on to serve Christians in Eritrea who find themselves arrested, beaten and imprisoned in barbaric conditions.

This moving story of faith takes us back to the years when Eritrea was fighting for its independence from Ethiopia, through to the rise of an oppressive regime which continues to arrest and imprison evangelical Christians.

Brother, I have come to arrest you is endorsed by Fiona Bruce, MP, the Vice Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion of Belief.

Description

The true story of Eritrea’s unlikely Christian revolution

by Dr Berhane Asmelash, with Andrew Boyd and Kenneth Harrod

188 pages, paperback, £10.00

“This book needed to be written – and needs to be read. The world should know of the suffering and bravery of thousands of Eritreans, barbarically imprisoned, tortured, and killed – simply on account of their beliefs. And to know that this is happening right now, in the third decade of the 21st Century.

Brother, I Have Come to Arrest You does just that. This profound account of Dr Berhane’s own experiences, and those of other Eritreans, is living testament to Paul’s words in the Bible, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9). But as Dr Berhane also states, and illustrates all too graphically, ‘This is not cheap grace’.

May this book compel all who read it to action – to stand with and support, in whatever way we each can, the many Christians in Eritrea today who suffer simply because of their faith in Jesus Christ.”
