Luke Wesley is the pen-name of a Western Christian who has lived in China for most of the past decade, and has ministered in both the house churches and the government-registered ‘Three Self’ churches. The book consists of 52 Scripture readings followed by short meditations generally two pages long, drawn from the author’s experience in China. Each meditation concludes with a prayer.
This book in general presents a fair and balanced picture of the amazing growth and vitality of the modern, post-Mao Chinese church. The author has hiked to remote mountainous areas and tribal villages and everywhere come across evidence of God’s working. There is a freshness and zeal in the accounts which reflects the dynamism of the Chinese Christian experience.
