With its 30 - 50 million Christians, China is the second largest community of evangelical believers in the world, and is set to overtake the USA in the next decade if present rates of growth continue.
Tony Lambert writes from wide experience and detailed research. He carefully describes the situation in both the Three Self Patriotic Movement churches, and the house churches, showing the particular challenges and pressures faced by those who are registered and those who are not. He tells of how often through persecution, God has sent revival and how despite repression, believers have boldly spread the gospel, resulting in massive growth.
