HUDSON TAYLOR (Men of Faith)
Autobiography by J.Hudson Taylor
The inspiring story of one man's love for God and his unflinching commitment to present the Gospel of Christ to the Chinese.Previously published under the title To China With Love, this book recounts the thrilling story of Hudson Taylor and the eventual formation of the China Inland Mission.Hudson Taylor left England on September 19, 1853, and did not reach China until spring of the following year. The long and arduous voyage, persecution, poverty, and the difficulties of culture and language did not deter Taylor from the divine task of his calling. Few men have been such an instrument in God's hands for proclaiming the gospel to a vast population and bringing so many Christian churches into being.The autobiography of a man whose influence in China is still felt today.

CHINA’S CHRISTIAN MARTYRS
by Paul Hattaway
An estimated 250,000 Christians have died in China for their faith since the Gospel was first introduced in the seventh century. Since 1900, more Christians have been killed in China than in all other countries of the world combined. They include some well-known names, such as John & Betty Stam, Eric Liddell (whose life was celebrated in the film Chariots of Fire), and Watchman Nee. But the great majority of China’s martyrs have been unsung heroes of the faith: simple men and women, boys and girls who when tested “did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” (Revelation 12:10-11).

PROJECT PEARL
The 1-Million Smuggled Bibles that Changed China
by Brother David with Paul Hattaway
On 18 June 1981, a huge barge containing one million Chinese Bibles miraculously slipped through Communist border patrols and anchored off a beach in south China. Two hours later its precious cargo had been successfully delivered into the hands of Chinese Christians who had been starved of access to God’s Word since the 1950s. Project Pearl is the remarkable story of this bold and courageous project, which was led by Brother David. Along with 19 crew members, he was willing to risk his life to bring the Word of God to the hungry Chinese.
A quarter of a century later reports are still being received from China of the tremendous impact those Bibles had on entire communities.

OPERATION CHINA
Introducing all the Peoples of China
by Paul Hattaway
Operation China introduces the minority peoples of China, made up of 490 groups and more than 100 million members. These diverse cultures, from the blue-eyed Muslims of Xinjiang to the tribal people of the jungles of Yunnan, are presented using brilliantly colored photographs, anthropological and geographical data, maps, statistics and a prayer calendar. Operation China is indexed with an extensive bibliography of English and Chinese-language publications.
The result of over 100 trips to China, Hattaway has documented hundreds of fascinating groups that were previously unknown to the outside world. More than 700 superb color photographs are scattered throughout. Each group is assigned a date, so that the reader can pray for one or two groups per day throughout a year.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOD WAITING FOR?
The Fulfillment of the Great Commission
by Ross Paterson
In the second edition of this book (formerly called "The Antioch Factor"), the author writes, "The book is not about the End Times...It looks at our obedience (or lack of it) to the Great Commission. It focuses on the often missed reality in "Matthew" 24, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as witness to all the nations." Then, and only then "the end will come". Whatever else may happen in our days, there is a key in our hands. We can use that key - or we can ignore it." Ross Paterson challenges us to take seriously the words of Jesus to be witnesses to Him "in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth". Using examples from the "Acts of the Apostles", the author explores how the centre of Christianity moved from Jerusalem to Antioch because it was the Antioch church that was prepared to obey the call to send people "to the ends of the earth". "How are we fulfilling that call today?" He asks.

THE HEAVENLY MAN
The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun
by Brother Yun with Paul Hattaway
The dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders. This is the gripping story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan province and placed him on the front line for Jesus, in the face of impossible odds. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus.
Interspersed with his personal account are contributions from his wife, Deling, made mostly during her husband's frequent periods of imprisonment. You will remember where you were the first time you read this life story.
It's a watershed book that will turn the reader to prayer and praise. It deserves comparison with past classics such as "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand, or the "Life of Watchman Nee," NZ$20 +p&p
