China Call: Miracles Among the Lisu People

A review of this book was compiled by:

Brad Verreynne

A summary of this book:

It is the account of how the Gospel advanced with power into remote unreached people groups in China at the turn of the 20th century, by men and women who were filled with the Spirit, and who simply obeyed the call to ‘go into all the world and make disciples” - specifically this part of China, and through their God-like dogged determination saw the Gospel burst forth into a mighty work way beyond the region they worked into.

What did you like about the book?

I was challenged on so many levels. I loved the general theme of their obedience to God. The joy they carried while obeying the call, inspite of suffering for God being a daily reality. Those who went carried hope to the hopeless, they loved on the locals as Jesus would, staying with them in conditions which to them were as foreign as one can imagine. This example also challenges me and spurs me on to give my life in greater measures to others.

What did you not like about this book?

Nothing

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

Everyone

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, without reservation!

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

Your life will not be the same. You will be so thankful for the life you have but be challenged/encouraged to live more for Jesus. You will be forced to look at your life, your love, your attitude to God, your expectancy for Him to break through in your life, and Lord willing - a greater more solid faith will result.
