The world thinks that the Church in China is oppressed, and
that anyone who wants to practice the faith has to join the
underground church. This book will surprise you. It will
challenge that popular view, and seeks to correct it. It seeks to
show that churches are booming in China, and the Christians in
the official churches are very deep in their faith. The Christians
there love their God deeply, love their bibles, and love the
people around them. It is estimated that China now has about
60 million Christians, rising sharply over the past 30 years.
China is perhaps the fastest growing church in the world in
modern history. More Christians worship on Sundays at
churches throughout the country than all of Europe combined.
This title of the book is "Bible Comes Alive - Window into the
Christian Church in China." It is published by Marshall
Cavendish.
