Duncan McRoberts (1912-2000), missionary with the China Native Evangelistic Crusade based in Seattle, a missionary enterprise devoted to training Chinese Christian leaders.
This is harrowing account of the Japanese invasion of China and their treatment of Christians.
"To try to write a suitable introduction to this book is to attempt the impossible, at least for one who has not, himself, gone through such horrors as it depicts and experienced personally such deliverances as it sets forth. It is truly a dreadful story - yet, told in such a way as to instill in the reader's heart a sense of the marvelous over-ruling Providence of God and an intense admiration for the people of bleeding China. The savagery of the Japanese beggars all power of description. The entire book would be unbelievable were it not for the evident sincerity of the author and his devotion to Christ and love for those whom Christ died." - Introduction.
