Review

This book, written by Randy Alcorn in 2011, is an excellent presentation of a touching story about two friends, Li Quan, and Ben Fielding,

The two used to live as roommates while in college before they were departed to follow their paths.

After twenty years they met each other again. Both got shocked with what had come with each other.

While in college Ben Fielding used to take Li Quan to the church.

Now Ben forgot has drifted away from religion and has embraced a working man’s obsession.

Li Quan, on his side, towards the traditional Chinese beliefs of his family and gave up his former academic dreams, including evangelizing in China.

The author reveals us all the secrets of the oppression that occurs in China for people that try to preach Christianity.

We follow all the afflictions of Li Quan and his family and the reawakening of Ben to his religion while witnessing everything that Li Quan is enduring in China.

This book is excellent. It is finely written, easy to read, and keeps us hungry for the last page.

Every serious reader that likes Christian fiction should get a hold of this one for their library.
