The pain and risks of such writing are obvious. God's grace alone allows, and even demands, that they be accepted, suffered and shared. Sandy and Fr Duane have accomplished this writing in the most gracious way. They tell Andrew's story, and their own, with awesome simplicity and disarming directness. The result is Christian martyria and homologia in their purest form: a witness and confession which must be made, whatever the cost. For the love of Christ constrains us.
