“Liao's
coverage of Christians allows truth to shine in the darkness. That's the beauty
of his writings.” —Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010
Nobel Peace Prize
Chinese
dissident author Liao Yiwu—the once lauded, later
imprisoned, and now celebrated author of The Corpse Walker—profiles the
extraordinary lives of dozens of Chinese Christians, providing a rare glimpse
into the burgeoning underground world of belief that is taking hold within the
officially atheistic state of Communist China. A luminous writer, and not a
Christian himself, Yiwu offers a uniquely objective
and insightful perspective on the position Christians occupy in mainland China,
in a book that readers of Philip Jenkins' The Lost History of Christianity
as well as Peter Hessler's Country Driving will
not want to miss.
