Editorial : “Liao’s coverage of Christians allows truth to shine in the darkness. That’s the beauty of his writings.” (Liu Xiaobo, 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner)

“God Is Red is the most wonderfully surprising report on the church in China I’ve seen, and Liao Yiwu is the best literary guide since Vergil.” (John Wilson, Editor, Books & Culture)
“A subtle and sober account by one of the foremost banned writers of contemporary China. An irresistible read, pulsating with humanity.” (Lian Xi, author of Redeemed by Fire: The Rise of Popular Christianity in Modern China)

This is a fascinating tale of otherwise unknown personalities thriving against all odds. God is Red will resonate with readers of Phillip Jenkins' The Lost History of Christianity and Peter Hessler's Country Driving.

They thought they had fought a hard war to free themselves from the distant centralizing government of Great Britain. Liked the book.. The Trouser Press Guide to New Wave music rocks. But that goes somewhat with the territory. Buy them both and you will need look no further, except of course to the books he recommends, which is a rather long list.. The main points are hammered again and again in the head of the reader. Awesome for my Pre-K, 4th and 6th grader.
Keeps them busy, occupied, increased their focus, concentration, reasoning, analytical and logical reasoning skill sets. The book is chock-full of facts, statistics and footnotes which create great reliablilty, yet couched in the passion of the authors. My daughter enj
