Crafted by master storyteller Jerry Jenkins, this riveting account of Sammy Tippit's mission work in Communist Eastern Europe reads like a spy thriller. Readers will feel the danger of smuggling Bibles and preaching God's Word behind the Iron Curtain and will witness God's miracles as Tippit introduces people enslaved by Communism to the freedom to be found in Christ. Previously released as No Matter What the Cost (Thomas Nelson Publishers).

About the Author
International evangelist and conference speaker, Sammy Tippit, has preached some of the largest evangelistic meetings in the world. He has proclaimed God's message of peace in stadiums in war-torn Burundi, met with government and religious leaders shortly after the attempted genocide in Rwanda, and brought hope to persecuted believers in the former Soviet-bloc nations. Tippit preached a historic evangelistic meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in March 1999, with over 300,000 people attending in four days. In May of that same year, he preached in Maracana, the world's largest stadium, located in Rio de Janeiro. Not only did thousands come to Christ, but the event was attended and supported by the governor, vice governor, and mayor of the city and state. In just the last 40 years of ministry, Tippit has proclaimed the gospel in more than 80 countries throughout the world.
Tippit was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. Prior to surgery, God spoke to his heart to fulfill a life-long dream by running the course of the original Greek marathon. He lost 60 pounds and ran the "Athens Classic Marathon" in November 2008. One year later, he won the gold medal in the 400 meters at the Texas Senior Games and the following year, he qualified to run in the national championships. He experienced a spiritual renewal during his time of running.
Tippit is the author of 13 book that have been translated into more than 20 languages.

Did I do That?,
By Van Hairston (Olive Branch, Ms) - See all my reviews
This review is from: God's Secret Agent (Paperback)
God's Secret Agent is hard to put down, so make sure you have a good block of time set aside before you start reading. The title and cover drew me to this little paperback. At first, I thought it was fiction. Sort of James Bond meets Billy Graham. But it turned out to be an autobiography of a man I had never heard about. While he doesn't have any of the neat gadgets Mr. Bond always has handy, Sammy Tippit does seem to be in the right place at the right time. He is an evangelist to nations in crisis. What a gripping book! Told with humility, this is an account of the amazing hand of Our Lord on the life of a regular guy. But this regular guy is compelled to tell others about his best friend and how this friend changed his life and can changes their's too. Sammy seems just as amazed as the reader while describing the various places and people his travels have taken him. I am giving this book to 5 people for Christmass 2001.
