Wang Mingdao - Christian Biographies for Young Readers

Simonetta Carr’s newest children’s biography introduces us to a father of the Chinese evangelical church, Pastor Wang Mingdao. Mingdao is remembered for standing firm for the true gospel, even though it cost him his earthly freedom. Even after a moment of weakness during persecution, Mingdao found restoration in Christ and kept the faith through twenty-three years of imprisonment. His courage and strength provide a modern example of how Christians can trust the Lord and remain faithful in times of hardship and persecution. This title is part of the Christian Biographies for Young Readers series.

“Statistics show that the Christian population in China has increased over ten times during the second half of the twentieth century, from four million to almost fifty million. How could Christianity in China grow so much when Western missionary activities had almost entirely ceased? This book on Wang Mingdao’s life offers an answer. It was the power of the gospel of the free grace of God in Jesus Christ that accomplished it, despite hardship and persecutions. Simonetta has done tremendous work again to provide us this valuable volume for our young readers to see God’s invincible love at work in the real world.” Yi Wang, church planter-pastor at Christ Reformed Church, Anaheim, California
