We are indebted to the Overseas Missionary Fellowship for republishing this important book by Leslie Lyall, which was first published in 1973.

In the 1930s one of God's ways of preparing the Chinese Church for the imminent trials of the Japanese War and the Communist take-over was the raising up of four Spirit-filled preachers who were instrumental in many conversions, and who challenged the Church throughout the county to greater consecration. They were David Yang (Yang Shao-tang), Watchman Nee (Ni Duo-sheng), Wang Ming-dao and John Sung (Song Shang-jie). The last-mentioned is not included in this book, as Leslie Lyall wrote a separate biography about him.
