Conversion To Christianity
Brother Andrew recounts in God's Smuggler how, post-war, he enlisted in the colonial army of the Dutch East Indies during the rebellion that would eventually form Indonesia. He endured a period of severe emotional stress whilst serving as a soldier. He was wounded in the ankle and during his rehabilitation he read the Bible obsessively, eventually converting to Christianity and having his ankle healed, by the power of God.

Famous quotes containing the words conversion and/or christianity:
“The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
