Last Christmas
I received this e-mail: "I'm 16
and just finished your book,
Our lights were out (power outage). I
got the book for a Christmas present, so I read through the whole
night. I couldn't put your book down. I want to help in some way, do
you have any suggestions?"
-
15 year old home
schooler: "I am almost finished reading your book, I hate to put it
down. Daughter of China makes my heart burn
with fire and I am humbled by the ability of these precious saints to
forgive the people who kill their families and friends. I am daily
reminded to forgive people in my life who maybe do the simplest things
to my family, like badmouth my brother, or hurt my sisters heart.
Even in these small situations its hard for me to forgive! So the
story of these saints is an exhortation I desperately need in my life.
-
20 year old
university student: Your book was given to me by my mother and she
has instructed everyone in my family that they are to read it. I am
attending ______ University in Pennsylvania right now but I am also
praying Gods will for my life. China has a special place in my heart
now and I know God will use me for his purpose.

"Daughter
of China is a penetrating look into the world of the persecuted
church. It provides a rarely seen glimpse of a young woman’s
search for her identity in Christ amid the most flagrant abuses of human
dignity. Challenged by the struggles and faith of the characters,
readers will be forced to examine their own faiths. Read with
caution—the prospect of persecution is frighteningly real and compels
the reader to face the reality of a world without freedom. I am
pleased to have shared LIFE Outreach’s ministry in China with Hope and
to have seen such a great work grow from it."
JAMES ROBISON, PRESIDENT AND
FOUNDER
LIFE OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL
"Daughter
of China takes you into the world of the Chinese underground church
with vivid portrayal of the day-to-day hardships and joys our brothers
and sisters experience. The gripping narrative and literary
tension kept me turning pages until, before I knew it, I was finished
with the book – but not with China!"
CHARLES
C. STOCK, SENIOR PASTOR
LIFE CENTER MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL
(Charles Stock is Hope’s pastor in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania)
"Daughter
of China is a powerful and compelling story of a young girl who
risks everything during her journey of faith. It’s an adventure
into Christian mission well worth reading. Hope Flinchbaugh has
captured a world few American Christians will ever encounter."
TIMOTHY
C. MORGAN, DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR
CHRISTIANITY TODAY
"Daughter
of China is a gripping portrayal of the double crosses carried by
women in China who are looked down upon as females and as
Christians. We have met such women in the fields at night, in
alleyways, and in homes across the vast provinces of this Communist
nation. We have found this book to be an accurate representation
of the hostile conditions surrounding the majority of Chinese Christians
today that do not frequent the large public church buildings visited by
tourists. Their overcoming faith is an inspiration. To
understand the heartbeat of the Chinese church, you must read this
book."
