Spiritual Secret

Husband, father, physician, evangelist, visionary and founder of the China Inland Mission - James Hudson Taylor lived his life for God with intention and purpose. In the process, God revealed to him the secret to joy and satisfaction, no matter what circumstances surrounded him.

In the course of his life Taylor knew poverty, hardship, loss, frustration and the difficulties of ministering in the challenging country of China. He knew that he could fully and completely trust and depend upon God to meet his every need, all the time, no matter how insurmountable the obstacles appeared.

Looking Back

The autobiography of Hudson Taylor

J. Hudson Taylor's life radically changed the Christian church. His faith and godliness inspired countless believers to extraordinary faith and passion for Christ. He has been called one of the four or five most influential foreigners who came to China in the 19th century for any purpose, religious or secular. Few who read his story will remain content with the state of their own faith. His increasing thirst for God is contagious.

This new modern language edition of his autobiography is for today's believers - to discover his model of faith, obedience, humility and dependence on God.

31 Days of Prayer for Japan

Something seems wrong. More than 140 years after Protestant missions came to Japan, less than one per cent of the nation's 127 million people follow Christ.

That is a tragedy. Idolatry in many forms - ancestor worship, Buddhism, Shinto and materialism, to name a few - grips the heart of the Japanese people and keeps them in darkness. Like all God's creations, they were made for so much more.

31 Days of Prayer for Japan calls upon God's people to intercede for this ancient, yet modern nation. Through prayer, the battle for Japanese souls can be won. This prayer guide explores an array of issues confronting Japan, such as the high suicide rate, the pursuit of wealth and success, and the challenges of the Japanese church. Using this guide, readers gain insight into how to pray for the Japanese people.

God loves Japan and desires to do a mighty work there. He is worthy of the glory due to His name. Join in this work through prayer and make an eternal difference.

30 Stories from Taiwan's Working Class

Taiwan's mandarin-speaking majority has many Christians and a great wealth of resources. But the majority of Taiwanese people are working class and largely unreached by the gospel. They are separated from their neighbours by language, education, culture and prejudices. Man working class, especially men, feel uncofmrotable and inferior in traditional church situations. Outreach is extremely difficult.

These 30 stories will help you understand the difficulties and challenges of working class outreach and enable you pray strategically for the spread of the gospel amongst them.

Free? How the Gospel is Transforming Thai Students

More than 100,000 students are studying in universities and technical colleges across central Thailand. These univesities and colleges are places of influence, producing some of the key social and political leaders of the future. Challenging the thinking of these Thai young people is vital if we want to see a new generation of influential believers who both live and speak the gospel clearly. Pray for them.

It was the 1920s, and a young woman names Isobel Seline Miller was making her mark in the theater, social and academic world. But through her mother's prayers and after a tragic romance, Isobel discovered peace with God. After reading about Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, she felt a call to China, and specifically, to the Lisu people. Preparation at Moody Bible Institute was completed with honors, and eventually she sailed for China as a missionary. There she married John Kuhn whom she had first met during her training at Moody. Together they faced hardships, long separations, severe illness, war, and death itself. Yet through all this the church among the Lisu people grew in faith and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Ascent to the Tribes

Day was breaking on the far Thailand hills. A sense of something new coming had been scattered over the mountaintops. A new name was heard on the lips of tribe after tribe. Some wistfully wondered if He had power to dispel the darkness of their bondage to demons. Others whispered His name in secret fearing the consequences of open confession, but there were a few groups who would own Him as Savior and worship Him as the Son of God.

______________________________________________________

By Searching

Isobel Miller gave up God for worldly pursuits. But as graduation approached and her engagement was broken, she questioned that decision. "If You will prove to me that You are, and if You will give me peace, I will give You my whole life." God heard Isobel's prayers and responded. Her search ended, and He gave her a whole new life of fruitful missionary service in China.

______________________________________________________

Children of the Hills

Isobel Kuhn, with her husband John, longed to win the lovable Lisu people to Christ. She delighted in them and the simplicity of their lives. She says, "Lisuland is a place of physical hardness and spiritual luxury, but if you have ever tasted that luxury all else will be tame for ever after." Isobel had the privilege of seeing the Spirit of God moving among an unreached people group

Green Leaf in Drought

This is the story of the reluctant exodus, when the last China Inland Mission members were forced from Communist China. The experiences of Arthur and Wilda Mathews answer the question: Can a Christian grow in the driest circumstances?

______________________________________________________

In The Arena

"In the Arena" continues the story of Isobel Kuhn. Christians are on display, like someone condemned to die in the arena. Isobel was convinced that the trials of her life are "arena experiences" and her most valuable lessons.

Nests Above The Abyss

First published more than 60 years ago, this book has become a classic about the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming lives characterized by fear, sin and darkness into beauty, joy and the hope of the resurrection. Isobel Kuhn was able to write as she did about the Lisu people of southwest China because she lived with them and shared their spiritual battles.

______________________________________________________

Second Mile People

Six "second-mile people" were friends and colleagues whose lives made a deep impression on Isobel Kuhn. These brief character studies of their spiritual lives offer vivid examples of lifestyle Christianity.

______________________________________________________

Stones of Fire

This is the true story of Mary, a young Lisu tribeswoman, who was challenged by Isobel Kuhn to "let God break her heart." "Stones of Fire" records her struggles and the surprising results.

______________________________________________________

Whom God Has Joined

John and Isobel Kuhn were two ordinary people who made an extraordinary commitment -- to put "God first." With transparent honesty and humor, Isobel shares stories from her life as a missionary wife in China. Her exuberance and colorful style make those far-away places seem as close as next door, while her deep faith in God speaks to the deep needs we all experience.

A Secret Hope

Philippines

By Ria Zebua

Neighbouring villages considered the remote village of Taguangu, Philippines, trash. Its reputation was well-deserved. Tanguangu was little more than a den of loafers, brawlers, drunkards, gamblers and thieves.

Desperate for change, three Manobo believers asked God to send a missionary to Tanguangu. At that very time, God called Ria Zebua from the tiny island of Nias in Indonesia to take the gospel to the Manobo people. But to which village should Ria go?

A Secret Hope tells how God directed her and a team of Filipino missionaries to the Manobo in Taguangu - that lair of crooks and ruffians. there they God do the impossible again and again.

Killing Fields, Living Fields

Cambodia

By Don Cormack

The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible debacle of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation. Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand`s crowded camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge. The tiny, underground Christian remnant which survived the Killing Fields has exploded into a dynamic young church numbering in its thousands. This book will not only inite you to vew the unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Chuch, but will strengthen you in your faith and make you ask, what can I do for Him?

Don Cormack, who has himself spent over 20 years among the Cambodian people, adds the background of Cambodian life, history and culture.

In Japan the Crickets Cry

Japan

By Ronald Clements and Steve Metcalf

Steve had suffered under the brutal regime of his Japanese guards. He and his classmates at Chefoo school in China had been interned in 1942. Resentment of the Japanese was a way of life. Could he possibly pray for them? He could. At the end of the war the China Inland Mission was seeking young men willing to go to Japan . Steve trained, packed and went. Thus began Steve's lifelong love of Japan. Over the years he would tussle with a culture where courtesy wins over truth; where suicide is an honourable choice; where to be foreign is to be forever alien. Time after time he would encounter miracles of healing, provision, and protection as God looked after him, his wife Evelyn and their growing family. In a resistant culture he would see many come to Christ.

Beyond Coral Shores - Life and Work with a Remote Tribe

By Martin Haworth

Martin Haworth gave up a thriving business and,with his family, spent thee preparatory years in Filipino towns, before accepting an invitation to work among the Buhid tribe. Those three years, involving cultural and language assimilation, enabled them to truly connect with the Filipinos.

Gently amusing, and often emotive, this is an intriguing, informative and highly detailed look at the lifestyle of a remote people-group of the Philippines: their land, their lives, their hunger for God, and the daily challenges faced by development work in church and community.

Fire Within

By Wu Yung

Foreword by James Hudson Taylor II

The moving autobiography of Wu Yung, one of Asia`s foremost Christian leaders.

This book is filled with human interest stories illustrating personal faith, struggle and service

A fascinating story of the pilgrimage of Christian faith from a contemporary Chinese leader

Such was the miraculous beginning of the church in Taiwan led by Wu Yung. From a wasted childhood, continually in trouble with the British police in Singapore and then on the run during the Japanese occupation of China, Wu Yung`s eventual escape to Taiwan led to his dramatic conversion to Christianity and the establishment of an evangelical church, seminary and training centre for thousands of young Chinese people.

Wu Yung was no academic or theologian but upheld a lifelong disciplined approach to prayer and Bible study. I believe spiritual people produce spiritual work. If the church considers only methods and systems, the work produced will be wood, hay and stubble Wu Yung`s personal experiences of faith in God provide the reader with valuable insights into effective church witness and itinerant world-wide ministry.

Mountain Rain

China

By Eileen Fraser Crossman

"Much of the spiritual teaching one hears does not seem to work. But I found that the Cross of Jesus Christ worked. I felt like a man perishing of thirst, to whom some beautiful, clear cold water had begun to flow ... I had so much to learn! It seemed as if God was saying: 'You are crying to me to do a big work among the Lisu; I am wanting to do a big work in you yourself.'"

James Fraser was only 22 years old when he abandoned a promising engineering career and went to China. At first sight of the Lisu tribespeople of Yunnan province he felt an immediate affection for them. For the rest of his life, he traveled on horseback over rugged mountains, laboring to bring the Lisu the good news of Christ. Packed with personal letters, insightful anecdotes, and riveting stories of missionary life in China, this superb biography by his daughter shines with God's constant faithfulness and power over evil.

John Sung: A Biography

China

By Leslie T.Lyall

This is an honest biography of an extraordinary man. No attempt is made either to conceal or to camouflage the idiosyncrasies and spiritual defects in John Sung's personality. At first sight it is almost surprising that God should have been pleased to prosper his ministry so greatly. He had a strong will and a hot temper. He was independent to the point of being sometimes stubborn. A rebel as a boy, he remained an individualist all his life. He could be abrupt and even rude. His wife and family must at times have felt neglected. He was certainly a scholar, with remarkable academic attainments, but his Biblical preaching was never "scholarly" and could be grotesque.

Is there any explanation of John Sung's great power? Why did God bring salvation to so many sinners, fullness of life to so many believers and revival to so many churches through his comparatively brief ministry of only 15 years (1929 - 1944) Can we learn from his experience what are the conditions of divine blessing? This book will make every reader ask, "Why did God honour the ministry of John Sung?" It will lead the reader to ponder carefully the qualities of the worker whom God blesses and the character of the work that He prospers. And it will show the relevance that John Sung's story still has for us in 21st Century Asia.

Nothing Else To Fear

Indonesia

By David Ellis

In the face of real fears, theory is not enough. When terrible things happen, can you really believe that God is in control, that God is love? In Nothing Else to Fear, Ellis uses Scripture and candid accounts of his own experiences in Indonesia to prove that God can be trusted. He doesn’t offer a way to make your problems disappear. Instead, this humbling and awe-inspiring book will change the way you look at the world and your relationship with God.

Steppe By Step

Mongolia

By Hugh Kemp

A nomadic culture renown for its violent history, in a land of temperature extremes and barren planes. Amongst the legends of Khan's and cruelty, few would guess that Mongolia was once ruled by a series of Christian monarchs.

With a history of Christian rule, why at the close of the 20th century were there but a handful of Christian believers scattered across Mongolia?

The nomadic tradition made outreach nearly impossible and missionary work seemed to bear little fruit. But today we see thousands of Mongolian believers meeting regularly and reaching out to their own people. How has such a dramatic revival happened?

Mongolia`s history may conjure up images of fierce warfare across expanses of tundra. But it was no godforsaken land.

Kemp's account of evangelists on the steppes, working in arduous conditions, and some with a deep sense of loneliness, shows us inspiring examples of perseverance and sacrifice. The story of the Mongolian church forces us to re-evaluate our own commitment to Christ as we learn of the missionaries courage in taking the gospel to hidden peoples.

Kemp takes us with him as he travels through modern day Mongolia sharing the gospel. Through his vivid description, we can feel the -40 C chills of the Mongolian winter, we can see the hostile steppes and understand the power of the God in Kemp's life and the lives of those he meets.

Steppe by Step will take you from the beginnings of Christianity in Mongolia and bring you right up to date with a church growing beyond anyone's expectation.

There's a Sheep in my Bathtub

Mongolia

By Brian Hogan

There's a Sheep in my Bathtub chronicles the adventures of the Hogan family as they try to follow God's leading into one of the world's most remote and mysterious enclaves, former Soviet era outer Mongolia. Disarmingly honest and charmingly humorous, their tale will thrill you and bring tears to your eyes. An intensely personal memoir, this book still manages to pack a powerful dose of missionary insights and Biblical principles for seeing the Church explode into life among peoples that have never heard of Jesus.

A Flame of Sacred Love

By Norman Cliff

The story of Benjamin Broomhall, Hudson Taylor`s brother-in-law and General Secretary of the China Inland Mission.

He was a prominent figure in churches and large conventions where he spoke on China and the cause of missions. He was well known to Cabinet ministers and members of Parliament for his uncompromising stand against the evils of slavery and the opium trade, and in his lifetime saw both evils largely eliminated.

Dr Norman Cliff, a writer, researcher and retired minister, is the great grandson of Benjamin Broomhall.

Not Less Than Everything

By Valerie Griffiths

What is stopping you from sharing the Gospel? Maybe you are too old. Or perhaps you are too young to be taken seriously. Maybe being a woman is throwing serious difficulties in your way.

Not Less than Everything by Valerie Griffiths will challenge the boundaries that are hemming you in and will change your understanding of how you can serve God.

This book is an account of the women who went to China from the late 19th to the early 20th century as missionaries with the China Inland Mission. Alongside the historical facts runs a faithful testimony of how God used these women in remarkable ways so that his name would be glorified across the vast Kingdom of China.

The contribution these women made is still being felt today and yet many were young, physically frail, some were poorly educated and others embarked on pioneering ministry in their old age. Their effectiveness came from one shared characteristic, their wholehearted desire to give not less than everything to carry the Christian gospel to China.

These women had nothing more to offer than themselves and yet God used them in remarkable ways. For some, their apparent weaknesses meant that they were considered to pose little threat and were therefore able to travel far and wide across China. In other cases, indigenous churches grew under their care, as Chinese pastors, who would defer to the male missionary, were happy to take the lead in the presence of a woman missionary. School teachers became itinerant evangelists in the wilds of North West China. Uneducated girls became fluent in Chinese and trained Christian Chinese women to witness to other Chinese women.

Read this book and never worry whether you are good enough for God again.

Point Me To The Skies

By R. Ronald Clements

The story of ambush had shaken them. ‘They are going to force you out. But you won’t make it to Xichang.’ ‘They will shoot you… on the mountain pass.’ As the Communists gained control of China, foreigners were no longer welcome.

The team packed what they could onto their mules and set out across the mountains. As they ascended the icy slopes, bleak mists closed in. The paths were treacherous, the future uncertain.

Joan had spent years trying to get to China, facing setbacks, discouragement and opposition. But she was sure God wanted her in China. Finally, reaching the ‘Great Cold Mountains’, things seemed to fall into place. Living and working with the Broomhall family, Joan felt, for the first time in her life, that she belonged.

Now she was being asked to leave. Did God really have a plan?

As Joan looks back, 60 years on, God’s faithfulness and sovereignty are clear. Her remarkable story shows us that there are some lessons we can only learn with hindsight.

Something Greater Than Gold

The inspirational story of Gold medal winner Eric Liddell, who left his privileged life in England to serve God in China. Taken as a prisoner of war when the Japanese invaded China, Eric Liddell shows us what it really means to serve God with joy despite hardships and troubles.

1-2-1 Discipleship

by Christine Dillon

Getting people to ‘make decisions’ and cross the line between death and new life is vital. But what comes afterwards?

Many Christians are frustrated, longing for a deeper relationship with God. They want to make an impact for the Kingdom and to share their faith in a way that works, but are unsure how to go about it. Stuck in a rut, they are oblivious to how different their Christian lives could be.

How can we help people to discover the fruitful lives and intimate relationship God intended them for?

Paul’s answer was simple. He said, ‘Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.’

Evangelism and discipleship are part of the same great process and this book is for all those who have ever wondered what Jesus meant when he said ‘make disciples’.

Christine Dillon is Australian, but grew up in Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines. She trained and worked as a Physiotherapist before joining OMF International in 1999. Christine is involved in church-planting in rural Taiwan and spends much of her time discipling Taiwanese people from idol-worshipping and superstitious backgrounds.

An Authentic Servant

by Ajith Fernando

This is a clear and penetrating insight into what it means to be a leader. This book combines good theology and deep personal devotion, and recaptures the centrality of the cross.
In these few pages Ajith Fernando cuts to the heart of the matter, raising critical questions often lost in our cultures of comfort. Are we willing for costly service? Do we yearn for those we lead? How can we keep our focus on the cross and let the paradox of joy in suffering seep down into our understanding, our personal discipleship? There is no other authentic Christian leadership.

Born For Battle

by R. Arthur Mathews

Edited by M.E. Tewksbury

Dr. Neil Anderson of Freedom in Christ Ministries writes in his foreword:

"There was a time I thought I could explain the world through the grid of my Western rational and natural world view. When I turned to Christ for my own salvation, I was taught how to explain the failure of humanity by the nature of the fallen world and the ongoing struggle with the flesh. I learned about the kingdom of God but was taught little about the kingdom of darkness. Then someone put Arthur Mathew's book 'Born for Battle' in my hands and I began to understand the nature of the spiritual battle that believers are called to engage in. `Born for Battle` is one of those Christian classics that needs to be read again and again by every generation. I trust it will do as much for you as it has done for me."

By Faith and Failure

A man boldly ventures into the unknown in response to God’s call. But he blithely resorts to deception when he fears for his own safety. Sterling faith and striking failure. Yet God uses him in a way beyond his imagination.

In the book By Faith and Failure: When God Takes Hold of Right Steps and Wrong Turns, Rev Dr David Harley, who has studied and taught on Abraham for decades, deftly opens up a remarkable life. As he details the peaks and troughs of this man, he shows that the story of Abraham is also your story.

If you have ever struggled to trust and follow God, take heart. God is more than able to weave together your faith and your failures to work out his express purpose for your life.

In By Word and Wonders: When God Leads the Way to Life and Freedom, Rev Dr David Harley draws readers into this gripping drama as narrated in the biblical book of Exodus. As he opens a window to the wonderful story of redemption, you will see how meticulously God has planned a rich and full life for all who turn to him in faith and obedience.

Deprived or Privileged?

By Marilyn Schlitt

Marilyn Schlitt, a missionary, wife and mother, looks at the emotional, spiritual and material needs of the children of missionaries. She makes particular reference to those children who attend boarding schools, particularly schools for the children of missionaries.

Are these children deprived, through separation from their parents? Or are they privileged, because of the enriching experiences of international friendships and the support of a Christian school environment?

Marilyn Schlitt attended a boarding school for missionaries` children in India. Her own experiences form the basis for many of the issues she looks at in this book.

Jesus Says Go

By Robin Wells

This book is for everyone who wants to bring the gospel of Christ to another culture. What doe it mean to enter another world? To leave friends and family? To use your training in a radically different way? And to be a servant? In an age when terrorists will die for their beliefs, what does it mean to us that Jesus said "Go"?

Whether you are considering missions as a life-long calling or a short-term missions trip, there are many factors to consider - family, acclimating to a foreign culture, monetary support, etc. Even our expectations need to be realistic and well-founded. Missionary stories of all types from around the world illustrate the problems, solutions, and ongoing challenges of the missionary life.

Lambs Dancing With Wolves

By Michael Griffiths

Reaching people means crossing cultural boundaries;meeting people whose ways of life differ radically from our own.This involves facing the threats and traps of learning languages and new customs.

God`s command is to spread the love and good news of Jesus to all people.The title of this book is based on Jesus` instruction to his disciples in Luke 10:I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.` Christ does not send us, his lambs to live among wolves in order to be hurt or harmed, but rather to befriend them and win them over.

This comprehensive manual includes chapters on language, empathy, culture shock, appreciating other cultures, presenting the gospel, leadership, marriage and singleness, quality of life, and much more.

If you are a missionary, in training,or thinking of taking your profession overseas, this is frankly an indispensable book.

Our screens are full of science fiction encounters with aliens.But a far more accessible adventure lies at our doorsteps:reaching out with the Gospel to those of those of other cultures. You need not travel far.Today a family from an unfamiliar culture probably lives across the street.

The privilege of crossing cultural boundaries, and encountering people whose ways of thinking, language and customs differ radically from our own,is a source of excitement.It also presents traps and sometimes threats.Yet to remain mono-cultureal today is to impoverish oneself and to leave vast areas of our potential memory banks as empty vaults.

God`s command is to spread the love and good news of Jesus to all people. Dr Griffiths` title is based on Jesus`s instructions to his disciples in Luke 10:`I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.` Christ does not send his lambs - us - out to live among wolves to destroy them or to be destroyed,but rather to bond with them and win them over.

This comprehensive manual includes chapters on language,culture shock,appreciating `wolf` culture,presenting the Gospel,leadership, marriage and singleness,quality of life and much more.

From his conversion, he was fully committed and on fire. He showed humble perseverance even in his application with the CIM, eventually going to China as one of the Cambridge Seven. His humility was further tested as he worked under his co-worker and local leaders. Amidst the crisis during the Boxer Uprising in 1900, he succeeded Hudson Taylor to lead the CIM for more than 30 years. In 1929 despite the political instability causing many missionaries to return home, Hoste issued a call for 200 new workers for China, bringing CIM into the “Forward Movement”.

Through his life we can see how God moulded his servant leader. May God use this book to encourage and challenge the younger generation of today.

Myths & Missionaries

By Michael McGinty

Thanks to our information-rich society and the availability of travel, a lot of ignorance about the mission field has been discarded. Churches seem much better educated about the nature and needs of the mission field.

But what about the missionaries themselves? What are the facts and fiction about them? What are they like? What do they need? Many North American churches are content to keep their missionary clothed in Superman's costume. They prefer not to probe too deeply beneath the surface. The secular media often goes to the extreme, zeroing in on Clark Kent, and ridiculing him for his human fallibility.

The truth obviously lies somewhere between these two extremes, and if we want to pray intelligently for and support our missionaries, we must make a greater effort to separate the fantasies from the facts.

One World Two Mind

By Denis Lane

While cyberspace and concord jets have made the world so small that East and West meet regularly, when it comes to understanding one another, the two worlds are as far apart as ever. This book deals in broad strokes with the major differences in the mindsets of the two groups, not to encourage prejudice, but to evaluate these world views.

The Heart of Godly Leadership

By Allan Webb

"This is not a book of leadership theory. We have enough of those already. We need to develop skills that are part of the requirements for effective leadership. Allan tells us how, and the appeal of the book is that this is authentic stuff from a man of God who knows what he is talking about." David Pickard.

Allan Webb's book gets straight to the point about what makes a good Christian leader : Influence, Spiritual Authority, Vision and Faith, Servanthood, Lifelong Development, Calling and Equipping, and Competencies.

Also available in Chinese.

The Prayer Of Faith

By James O. Fraser

"J. O. Fraser, wise and successful church planter among the Lisu people of Southwest China, was also an engineer who believed in things working.

Who is My Neighbour?

By Martin Goldsmith & Rosemary Harley

Britain has always been a multi-cultural society. From Roman invasion to the present day, people from many nations tribes and ethnic groups have landed on these shores. Not all come to settle and live; many visit, coming for further study, business purposes and sightseeing. As the races, cultures and religions of the world arrive on our doorstep, we are presented with exciting opportunities. The Christian is called to love their neighbour. To love someone we must understand them. What are their backgrounds? What do they believe? What are their problems and how can we help? Rosemary Harley and Martin Goldsmith tackle these questions clearly and practically, as we are challenged to witness to people of all backgrounds and religious faiths through our actions and attitudes.

Your Church Can Make A Difference

By Allan Webb

Missions is not just a function of the church, it is the church's supreme function, and what Jesus has made primary, His church dare not make secondary. Our Lord's last great commission should be His church's first great concern. The mission of the church is Missions.

Lights in Lisuland

By Irene Howat

‘Your prayers don’t go further than the ceiling,’ Isobel informed her father, as he knelt by her bed to pray for her. Isobel knew she was right – she had been to university! And she was going to need a lot more evidence than the pious words of her Christian parents to change her mind. Her heart had been broken and joy had fled her life. She couldn’t study and she couldn’t sleep. She had had enough. One night, with a bottle of poison held tight in her hands, Isobel struck a bargain with God: ‘If you will prove to me that you exist, and if you will give me peace, I will give you my whole life. I’ll do anything you ask me to do, go anywhere you send me, obey you all my days’. That night Isobel did lose her life: the old life of doubt and anger gave way to a new life in Christ. Irene Howat has taken the story of Isobel Kuhn’s dramatic conversion and subsequent service among the Lisu people of Southwest China and rewritten it in a style that’s sympathetic to today’s young readers, while maintaining the powerful message of the cost and the joy of giving your life to God. A ‘Thinking further’ section is included at the end of the book, which highlights the central theme of each chapter and guides the reader through biblical teaching on each subject. Themes include Christian families, the occult, death and prayer. There is also a section that encourages daily prayer and gives helpful pointers on how to pray for mission. An accessible and engaging account of a young woman’s journey from teenage rebellion to faith in God. Why not introduce a young person to this moving testimony? Suitable for young teenagers.

White Devil

China

By Dao Tien

A manga-style graphic novel, brings the legendary story of Hudson Taylor to life.

Hudson Taylor sails for China in 1853 aged 21. The journey takes five months. Dressing like the Chinese and learning their language he starts to teach about Jesus. "Bai Gui!" they shout at him. White Devil! Their hatred is clear. Steeped in the cultural traditions of ancestor worship and idolatry, the Chinese want nothing more than for this Westerner to leave.

Criticised by English and Chinese alike and able to trust no-one, Hudson Taylor faces treacherous boat trips, terrifying nights on the street, poverty and even death. But one thing he knows: his God is trustworthy...

一脈相承——戴紹曾牧師感恩文集

A Legacy Continues-- In Appreciation of James Hudson Taylor III (1929-2009)

出版：海外基督使團 ｜代理：宣道出版社／校園書房出版社

戴紹曾牧師是中國內地會創辦人戴德生的曾孫，他生於中國，長於中國，學成後又回到亞洲服侍。他秉承家族對神、對華人的愛，把生命投放在建立別人的生命上。

使團為表達對他生命的感恩，特別邀請一些熟悉戴牧師的基督教領袖，就戴牧師關注的以下四方面撰文，分享他們的心得。

1. 中國 2. 神學訓練 3. 亞洲宣教運動 4. 整合的服侍

全書200多頁包括近二十位中外人士的文章，當中不乏與戴牧師近距離接觸，生命影響生命的故事。但更多的是，多年來投身宣教或神學教育的忠心僕人，藉著對 聖經真理及事奉經驗的反思，娓娓道出他們深刻的感受、掙扎與自省。讀來叫人時而掩卷歎息，時而感動共鳴；原來跟隨耶穌、效法基督，真是酸甜苦辣、五彩繽 紛，可幸都是不枉此生。

所以，這本書是獻給起來接棒的人的，盼望你展讀過如雲彩般見證人的分享，會心被恩感、擇善固執，欣然承接這福音的棒子。

以利沙說：「願感動你的靈加倍的感動我」（王下2：9）。

雖至於死——台約爾傳

Even to Death The Life and Legacy of Samuel Dyer

在澳門的馬禮遜墓園，有一個墓碑屬於馬禮遜的學生台約爾。

台約爾是誰？他就是中國內地會創辦人戴德生的岳父：

* 他一生「全為基督，全為中國的好處」而活
* 他在180年前開始研究中文活字印刷，親手逐字劇鑄如今中文印刷最常用的細明體

*他本著溫和謙讓、順服的生命，在事工及人際關係上，活出了對基督的委身

*他以愛、以生命澆灌、栽培、影響他年幼的兒女，以至三個孩子長大後，都同樣獻身中國的福音事工

他說：
「任何不能為中國捨身的意念，都會令我萬分沮喪。」

又說：
「讓我埋身在中國；以贏得中國歸屬基督。」

本書包含了不同來源的珍貴史料、照片，作者細心的加上了地圖、家譜等資料，使讀者更具體、更有親歷其境的感受。

全獻在祭壇上的委身，塵封了160年的生命故事，因著信，今天仍然在對我們說話！願你從台約爾的生命得著激勵，以行動回應。

战地童心

A Boy's War

作者米大偉（David Mitchell）是中國內地會宣教士的兒子，生於中國，一九四一年在芝罘宣教士子女學校就讀時，全校師生被日軍關押在集中營，此書便是作者的童年回憶。

是甚麼叫父母能忍受長期分離、音訊斷絕的痛苦？師長們又怎樣在困境中教養這群小孩？營中許多的人，包括一九二四年奧運金牌得主李愛銳，他們怎樣在試煉中活出信靠和饒恕的生命？

作者不但沒有恨惡日本人，日後反倒走上到日本宣教之路；他在澳洲大學畢業後又在倫敦修讀神學，一九六○年加入海外基督使團，派駐日本十年，從事大學生福音工作。

戰俘營的生活，除了艱苦驚險，更洋溢著英勇、機智、堅忍與盼望。這本書打開了一扇窗，讓我們看到神如何在苦難中彰顯祂的信實。

出版：海外基督使團
代理：宣道出版社／使者書房

全書220頁，圖文並茂，包括戰俘營的平面圖及照片，極富歷史價值。

神蹟千里

紀念庚子事變一百週年

Thousand Miles of Miracles

一群明白上帝呼召，確知生命異象，因而全然獻上自己、完成使命目標的人－在一百年前，飄洋過海，歷盡千辛萬苦來到中國，傳揚福音。但是等待迎接他們的是什 麼呢？是羞辱、是逼迫、是苦難、是殺害。尤其是進入山西的傳教士，在一九○○年庚子事變中，遭遇尤為可怕而悽慘。蓋落窪牧師在他這本回憶體的《神蹟千里》 一書中所描述的，就是當年他們由山西逃亡至武漢的沿途實錄。

內地會出中國記

China- The Reluctant Exodus

你經歷過神的信實嗎？你會是信心路上的另一個探險家嗎？

1948年起，中國政局風起雲湧，同工在兩難之間，萬不得已下向中國教會依依道別。在共產政權管治下，分處各省、市、偏遠鄉鎮的內地會同工進退維谷，歷盡艱辛，屢陷險境，嘗盡百般阻撓，神卻運籌帷幄，保守、看顧、開路。1953年，同工終於全數平安離境。

作者如何描寫大舞台上這許多人的謝幕退場？她的心思與筆觸宛如一盞探照燈，依次投向當時中國各地內地會成員的臉上，從一人轉向另一人，從一事轉向另一事．．．。

內地六巾幗

Each To Her Post

海戴賀美、賈貴安，與美德純─什麼原因使他們投身於中國的福音工作？

何莉莉如何克服種種困難，單獨地在一個語言不通的部族裏傳福音？

珍妮如何為了福音的緣故，長時期忍受與丈夫遠隔重洋？

金寶恩又為什麼甘願放棄舒適安逸的家庭生活？

這六篇栩栩如生、觀察入微的傳記，為她們大無畏的精神與奉獻捨己的生命，作了最好的詮釋。同時，我們得以一窺中國內地會（現改名為海外基督使團）早期的宣教工作情形，這在別的傳記上是很難讀到的。

長江杏林

來華八醫師

Medical Missionaries in China Inland Mission

馮浩鎏醫生熟悉醫療宣教事奉，他和妻子鄭珍妮醫生先後在南亞和東亞事奉近二十年。在《長江杏林》裡，馮醫生與我們分享七男一女醫療宣教士的感人故事。

在這八個故事裡，你們會發現信仰、專業與對大使命的順服結合起來；當你讀到他們孜孜祈禱、被神的話語鼓勵時，你就會找著他們屬靈的秘訣。

這八個醫生事奉的意義，不在乎時空、地域，也不在於人的掌聲；只在乎他們安身立命、死而後已的價值取向。他們都認定基督是獨一真神，而沒有基督，人必墮落失喪。然而、最終策勵他們生命的，惟獨是基督無比的愛。

誰願跟隨他們的腳蹤呢？

直奔金牌

Pure Gold

一九二四年巴黎奧運會，英國短跑名將李愛銳（Eric Liddell，前譯李岱爾），被公認能穩奪一百碼金牌，但他知悉初賽安排在主日時，毅然拒絕參賽。對他來說，尊崇永生的神比一切榮耀更重要。結果他改跑不被看好的四百四十碼，而勇奪金牌，更締造世界紀錄。

這發人深省的一幕，隨著電影烈火戰車的描述，深印人心。可惜，電影在他奪得奧運金牌的高潮後便劃下句號。

《直奔金牌》一書，帶您一瞥銀幕以外的李愛銳生平。他生於中國，死於中國，也葬於中國。奪金後翌年，他追隨父兄腳蹤，返回中國宣教，在抗日戰爭的動亂歲 月，奔走城鄉救災賑饑，經歷槍林彈雨、土匪搶劫和日軍扣押，卻因事奉的喜樂輕看這些險阻。 李愛銳身體力行，鼓勵年青學子以及城鄉牧者，要準確地研讀聖經，忠實地解釋，嚴格地實行，並靠聖靈得力，持之以恆。對他來說，聖靈之於信徒，就如運動精神之於運動員。

他廿三歲來到中國，一九四五年在日軍集中營病逝，在世寄居四十三載，為中國宣教奔跑了二十年。 在今天的「奧運熱」中，展讀李愛銳一生，看到他的基督徒風範與運動家精神，格外激勵、淨化人心。不但適合基督徒全家閱讀，也適合贈送親朋好友。

本書備有中文繁體、簡體版，附有數十幀李愛銳生平照片，彌足珍貴，請勿錯過。2008年更編製奧運珍藏版，特別附上奧運小品，歡迎查詢。

殺戮中的再生—柬埔寨教會剪影

Killing Fields, Living Fields

An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodia Church

- the Church that would not die

鄺銘恩醫生（柬埔寨金邊聖經學院）

翻閱這本書，我的心靈極受觸動。八零年代，我在泰柬難民營工作的片段，一幕幕在腦海中泛起，在當中我也曾見證神對這國家的愛。苦難，往往令人難以明白，然而，神藉苦難為這國家帶來救贖，為許多人帶來生命的改變，透過作者的筆觸，也向每一個讀者的信心發出挑戰。

這是一本震撼人心的書，充滿血與淚。當想到許多生命，在赤棉統治下的遭遇，叫我感慨良多。但看見慈愛的神奇妙地垂顧，伸手搭救，卻又使我感恩不盡。當我有機會親身到柬埔寨探望， 親耳聽聞一些真實故事，更感到將神的愛傳給柬埔寨人是何等迫切的需要。深信這本書必能打動你的心靈，催使你去傳遞神的大愛。

我不再懼怕 - 迎向紛亂的世代

Nothing Else to Fear: Holding Fast to God in Tough Times

地震、颱風、水災、社會動亂、金融海嘯…，災難層出不窮，

活在這個世界上，似乎讓人愈來愈懼怕。

艾德維（David W. Ellis）為蘇格蘭教會牧師，歷任海外基督使團(OMF)（前中國內地會）印尼工場主任及英國地區主任，夫妻二人四十多年來在世界各地服事不輟。

「我的心被恐懼緊揪著。煙霧、火光，還有一群暴民揮舞著刀棍，攔路包圍，根本無處可逃。再半哩路就到家了，卻被困住，進退不得。」

本書生動記錄作者及家人在印尼屢次遭遇危難，如何蒙神保守而脫險的奇妙經歷。同時作者也帶領我們深入研經，從聖經真理中找到不再懼怕的祕訣。他從神在歷史 的作為中，闡明神是歷史的掌權者，無論什麼邪惡的事，到頭來必被掌管一切的神用來達成祂的旨意。歷史終必歸結到十字架，至終祂的國權必遍及全地。敬畏神是 我們唯一的盼望，也是懼怕的解藥。

由於作者擁有多年在伊斯蘭世界生活的經驗，本書很難得地將基督教與伊斯蘭教的長期衝突做了深入的剖析，讓我們對動盪的世界局勢有更深一層的洞察。他指出兩 個宗教互相對立藐視，魔鬼樂得趁虛而入，宗教提供了最佳掩護。穆斯林痛恨西方帝國主義的侵略和物質享樂主義帶來的腐化，連帶的也痛恨西方人所宣揚的基督 教。在互相的仇恨之中，魔鬼引誘人們訴諸武力，還自認替天行道，伸張正義。

作者提醒我們，穆斯林並不是基督徒的敵人，邪惡不是伊斯蘭教的問題，也不是資本主義或共產主義的問題——是「我」的問題。作者以極深的屬靈洞見，讓我們體認到無論就個人或國家層面，唯一能逃離邪惡魔掌的方法，就是轉離它而悔改歸向神。

「作者在生命起落的經歷中，以他對神話語深入的了解、對世界動蕩的局勢和哲學的探討分析，巧妙地引用文學經典，編織了一幅對比強烈的圖畫。這本書是情、意、志的結合，必會挑動我們心靈的深處。」 ──馮浩鎏 海外基督使團國際總主任

老夏與可樂——白族情

Lao Xia & Kele: Love for the Bai

老夏是個十一歲的德國男孩，與九歲的妹妹可樂隨父母在雲南居住了六年。他們的父母是基督徒醫生，在白族人中服務。老夏跟爸爸學會了攝影，把山區少數民族的生活習俗拍下來，印製成書；兄妹倆又在書中分享了各自在他們當中的生活和感受。老夏又在書末教你攝影的竅門。

老夏陪同父親到貧苦的山區去探訪，他們在那兒推行的社區發展計劃，例如「助養山羊」計劃，在在都改善了白族人的生活。這本珍貴的照片集也表達了他們一家對白族人的愛。
