From the author:
Through the horrors of war and intense and almost unbelievable persecution for their faith in Christ, the characters in this novel – all composites of people known to the author – display enduring perseverance and courage. The underlying truth of each fictional episode makes this book much more than mere fiction. It is the gripping story of real people who would not recant their faith despite the most traumatizing conditions. Truly the gates of hell could not overcome China’s courageous believers of Jesus Christ.
From the Author:
Continuing the story of Red Runs the River, Exiles of Hope illuminates the explosive growth of the church in China following the Communist takeover in 1949 through the lives of two young people. Despite the deeply emotional struggle of Anching and Meiling, who were forcibly separated from each other by the rigors of civil war and political upheaval, it is nonetheless a story of hope. Undaunted by persecution and suffering and against all odds of ever finding each other again, they steadfastly trust in the promises of God. It is the story of the high cost of discipleship and choosing to love God above all else, and about two young people who cannot forget the love they once shared.
These two books are phenomenal. They made me consider my walk with the Lord and whether I am really walking “in the manner worthy of the Lord.” I pray that as you read them you will be spurred on to walk more faithfully with our incredible God!

Hudson Taylor: An Adventure Begins by Catherine Mackenzie
Hudson Taylor was a sickly child. He was often ill and had very poor eyesight. But God chose him to evangelize the Chinese. So at the age of 21 Hudson Taylor left the United Kingdom to sail half way round the world to China. Why did he do this? He did it to tell the Chinese people about the good news of Jesus Christ and to give them a message of hope.This story covers Hudson’s childhood and traumatic teenage years as well as his life as well-known pioneer missionary. We see him in facing sickness, poverty, heartache and death and we see him trusting in God throughout.When in China he became like the Chinese in his dress and manner, which ostracized him from the other missionaries. He did eventually find love but difficulties did not end there as Hudson and his wife Maria saw some of their own children die and then eventually Maria herself died. This is a story of Romance and family ties but also of the amazing things that God can do through one person who is entirely given over to the cause of Christ.Includes thinking further topics.

John Calvin: After Darkness Light by Catherine Mackenzie
In this, the 500th anniversary year of the birth of John Calvin, it is right that we should think about the life of one of the people who has most impacted world history.
Calvin had ideas on how we could live better lives -particularly how we could live in closer harmony with God and each other – but because his ideas were radical, his life was filled with dramatic events and dangers.
He was run out of town – and then welcomed back. He was accused of being too harsh – and also too tender hearted. When he explained what the Bible meant he was considered too logical, and too spiritual!
He must have been an amazing man to have caused such a stir!
Cowboys and Indians, buffalo stampedes, eating well-roasted mouse as a cure for measles – what was it like to live in the Wild West?
