The adventures of pioneer German missionaries in war-torn China bring to life the transition from warlords and bandits to Mao's Communism. From the 1920s-1950s the Gustav Bürklins endured tumultuous times, separations from family, dangerous travel, and everyday cultural challenges as they shared the gospel in China's interior. Thirty years later their son and his wife retraced his parents' footsteps and contrast the China of his parents and China now. On their own uncharted paths and adventures, they encountered faithful, persecuted Christians and also the tremendous growth of the church in China. An inspiring story of unflinching commitment in difficult times.
