Prisoner For Christ / Maxwell, Stanley / (PB/2004-2004/New/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is new.*

"Not long after the Adventist leaders had tried to convince Robert Huang to toe the Communist Party line, he was called before the Three-Self Church in Shanghai. He knew his refusal to attend political classes every Saturday had gotten him into trouble. It was difficult for him to believe that even his own church leaders had encouraged him to break the Sabbath. And now they were making an example of him."

In the dark days of Communist China, the Christians in Shanghai were cut off from the rest of the world and persecuted by the government. For a time the church as an institution was crushed and ceased to exist. The ominous message was clear: Compromise your beliefs and collaborate with the accusers--or face dire consequences!

During this traumatic time of political upheaval and religious repression, Pastor Robert Huang goes underground and continues his ministry in Shanghai--long after most of the other Adventist pastors have been incarcerated or have apostatized and become Party collaborators.

Suspense builds as Pastor Huang must work in secrecy, never knowing whom he can trust--or who might be watching him. It's only a matter of time before Robert is arrested and sentenced without trial to a notorious Shanghai prison.

Branded as the worst of criminals--a "counterrevolutionary"--just for being a Christian, Robert endures extreme deprivation and cruelty, never knowing if he will see his loved ones again. Here he must learn, as did the apostle Paul, to praise and honor his Lord under the very worst of circumstances.

In the tradition of Stanley Maxwell's popular The Man Who Couldn't Be Killed, Prisoner for Christ is another compelling true story of suspense, intrigue . . . and enduring faith. It's a story that will leave its mark on your heart forever.
