Wang Mingdao, part of the Christian Bios for Young Readers series, introduces young readers to a prominent leader in the 20th-century Chinese evangelical church. Known for his unwavering stand for the true gospel, he endured intense persecution and spent twenty-three years in prison for his faith. His life is a modern story of courage, forgiveness, and perseverance.
The book explores his early years in China, his discovery of God’s grace, and his calling to preach. It also recounts his steadfast commitment to proclaiming the Bible, even when it brought him into conflict with government and religious authorities and describes how he relied on God through the difficult tests of imprisonment.
The illustrations by Matt Abraxas are beautifully done, and they are complemented by photographs of real places along with historical timelines, a “Did You Know?” section, and Mingdao’s own words. Hardcover, 64 pages. ~Amber
