I will never forget the anguish we suffered as missionaries of The Christian and Missionary Alliance when we were forced to evacuate China at the time of the Communist takeover in 1949. We became painfully aware of the high cost of discipleship when we heard about many of our Chinese colleagues who were imprisoned for long years of re-indoctrination. At that time, we could only imagine the suffering they were enduring. One such man, Rev. Joshua Ku, our dear friend, and colleague, was the pastor of the growing Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Wuchang. He was imprisoned for twenty years, and yet stalwartly refused to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ. Upon release from prison, he immediately gathered a group of young people together for the purpose of training them for ministry.

This is a book you must read! Written in 2004-5 it has not lost its relevancy. If anything, it is more relevant today. You will be challenged in your faith as you read this historically accurate account of the persecuted church in China.
