This biography is thrilling, fantastic and amazing. It gave so much more insight into what it's like going into these situations. It was like reading a thriller at times with cliff hanging moments fraught with danger - it also reminded me of some of the adventures in the Acts of the Apostles. You'll find the book thought provoking and challenging - there will be moments when you'll cry because some of the stories are so heart breaking and it seems like nothing can be done. But God breaks through so many times in wonderful ways and with real answers to prayer. Some of it reads like the heroes of faith in the book of Hebrews with many giving their lives for their faith.

I remember one bright summer Sunday in 2009, as Stuart Windsor sat in my lounge, and we heard tale after tale of his travels, adventures and near-misses. I couldn't help but think that he had been everywhere, seen everything, and knew just about everyone! Having told God that he wouldn't stand by so long as Christians were being persecuted somewhere in the world, his life shows just what God can do when we give Him our all. God's Adventurer, co-written by Graham Jones, is the story of his life and journey with God into some of the darkest places of the world. Stuart is the National Director of Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), a charity that works tirelessly to speak up, pray and provide for Christians facing persecution and injustice, supporting and encouraging them. God's Adventurer takes the reader through Stuart's early years and God's call toward his current work, right through to the war-zones, blizzards and challenges of international advocacy. At times the action runs thick and fast, with incredible moments of God's provision and guidance, protection and faithfulness, all mounting up. At other times, one glimpses the humanness and humour in little things, as Stuart shares life with those he seeks to serve, and this balance brings a fitting poignancy to the story. Stuart has truly followed the Holy Spirit's directing and seen incredible miracles as he has battled to ease the suffering and fight the cause of so many forgotten people. God's Adventurer is an exciting and moving testament that God is on the move!

Right from its opening chapter, describing taking relief to Nagorno Karabakh in 1992, this was a book I couldn’t put down. Stuart Windsor tells his story – Barnardo’s boy, ex RAF, ex-North West Water Authority, Pentecostal pastor, and for the last 17 years National Director U.K. of Christian Solidarity Worldwide. CSW’s objectives are: showing solidarity with persecuted Christians and others; visiting and encouraging church leaders; delivering aid; ascertaining the facts and recording examples of persecution. It operates in about one third of the 66 countries listed by Amnesty International in 2009/10 as experiencing unjust imprisonment and torture, though inevitably only a small number of affected countries make it into this book. The book is just packed with moving and sometimes horrifying examples, and Stuart pays tribute to the faith and heroism of the martyrs and persecuted Christians in Iran and Mongolia, Burma and Pakistan, Nigeria and Sudan. ‘It’s essential,’ Stuart is convinced, ‘for Christians in the West to pray, speak out and stand in solidarity with the persecuted African Church.’ As you read the many accounts in this book of God’s activity, bear this quotation in mind: ‘As we often say in Christian Solidarity, we don’t believe in miracles, we rely on them.’ Stuart hopes that telling his story, containing his own ‘simple testimony’ that ‘faith works’, and telling these stories of the persecuted church will ‘persuade more Christians to discern God’s voice and obey in trust’. If reading this book moves you as much as it did me, then I strongly recommend you to get hold of Baroness Cox: a Voice for the Voiceless, by Andrew Boyd, published by Lion, 1998 and reprinted in 2006.(Sadly, Out of Print at the publishers, Editor) Baroness Caroline Cox, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, is a trustee of Christian Solidarity International, the parent body from which CSW split in 1997. She works closely with Stuart and is frequently mentioned in his book.
