Shanghai Faithful - Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family

Through the 150-year saga of one family, this book traces the remarkable religious evolution of the world's most populous nation. Shanghai Faithful is both a touching family memoir and a chronicle of Christianity in China. Five generations of Lins-buffeted by history's crosscurrents and personal strife-bring to life an era still unfolding.
