Banner-carrying Salvation Army marchers, stone-silent Quakers, jumpy Midwestern revivalists, and Prayer-book Anglicans all made up the mixed multitude sent to the Middle Kingdom by the China Inland Mission (CIM) in the nineteenth century. In China's Millions veteran historian Alvyn Austin crafts a compelling narrative of the sprawling history of the China Inland Mission. This book introduces readers to a remarkable array of sights, from the visionary, charismatic sect-leader Pastor Hsi, to the "wordless book," a missionary teaching device that fit perfectly with Chinese color cosmology, to the opium-soaked aftermath of the North China Famine of 187779. Clear, readable, and well researched, China's Millions digs deeply into the Chinese and Western past to tell a story of the strange yet hopeful result of two cultures colliding. - Publisher.

Excerpt from China's Millions NE thousand eight hundred and ninety! Thoughtless indeed should we be if we could enter upon the last ten years of this century without a solemn feeling Of awe. It has been a wonderful century, the most wonderful on record. Progress in many ways has been very rapid, and the world seems going on at an almost maddening rate. Steam has superseded the slow and cumbrous posting system but even steam is not quick enough for our correspondence, for which the telegraph and the telephone are increasingly in request. Parts Of the world that were unknown at the beginning Of the century are now linked to us by the electric cable. Roman Catholic countries Of Europe and long closed heathen empires, like India and China, have been marvellously opened to the missionary. But Satan still reigns the god of this world is not dethroned. Increasing knowledge of science has increased the fearful power of our weapons Of destruction, and the armed millions Of Continental Europe indicate but too plainly that man fears man no less, and loves man no more, than when the century commenced. Who can foresee the events and the changes which a few years may now bring should our lord delay His coming We truly live in perilous times, whether we look at things political or things religious. Never was there a time in which it was more important to walk with god and to abide in the secret place Of the most hrch, nor in which it was so urgent to be up and doing; for our master is at the door, while the Church is only now beginning to wake up to the realisation that the work of evangelisation for which she was left in the world is yet but barely commenced.

God’s Mighty Acts in China Zhejiang, a prosperous eastern province, is home to the highest percentage of Christians in China. This volume describes how God established His kingdom there. The region contains so many churches that it has earned the nickname “the Jerusalem of China.” The Church in Zhejiang made great sacrifices during the Cultural Revolution. From just one city, forty-eight church leaders died for their faith. In one six-week period in November and December, more than four hundred church buildings were bulldozed to the ground. The Communists earmarked Zhejiang as a “religion-free zone,” yet Jesus Christ is worshipped today by more than thirteen million people throughout the province. This is the third volume in The China Chronicles, which tells the modern history of the Church in China. The series is designed to inform the wider world of the astonishing work of the Holy Spirit in the world’s most populous country.

The articles in this volume explore interconnected historical phenomena in Asia, North and South America, and Europe from the late seventeenth century to the late twentieth century. These articles make clear that historical phenomena such as soccer and exile cannot be contained and explained within just one national setting.

God’s Mighty Acts in China Guizhou, which means “Precious State,” is home to more than 80 distinct tribes among the province’s 35 million people. God has powerfully reached several of these groups, but others still wait to hear of the Savior of the world. Guizhou includes many vivid brief biographies of the extraordinary people who have been part of this remarkable story, along with dozens of unique photographs, painstakingly collected by the author over years. This is the second volume in the China Chronicles, which tells the modern history of the Church in China. Each history starts with the arrival of the first Evangelical missionaries in a province and continues to the present day. Partly because of its explosive growth in recent decades, there is no accurate, readable account of what has happened to the Chinese Church. This series is designed to inform the wider world of the astonishing work of the Spirit in China. The China Chronicles also aim to provide Chinese believers, and members of the immense Chinese diaspora, with some sense of their own roots.
