Synopsis

These sketches of real people, and their stories of redemption and refinement, reveal human gem stones set apart for the King of Kings. God is able to do the miraculous, bringing the lowly opium addict up from the dirt, or the proud scholar down from his pedestal, transforming them both into brothers and sisters-peers-in the Kingdom family. Story after story in this small book testify to the reality of God and the truth of His word.

From the foreword, "Whole libraries have been written on Christian evidences. The resources of philosophic and scientific research have been drawn up in defence of the Christian faith. Yet important as these are, it may be questioned whether any or all of them together bring home to the heart such conviction as does the story of a redeemed soul-a soul lifted out of the fearful pit and miry clay-cleansed, purified and established in righteousness. Whatever intellectual difficulties may occur, a countenance illumined with a light that is not of this world is irresistible."

Prolific author Rosalind Goforth, with her husband Jonathan, were Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. They were pioneers in many ways, including "family ministry," where they included their children in their travels and evangelistic work. The family also endured harrowing trials and narrowly escaped death during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. These delightful vignettes of transforming grace are gleaned from their personal experiences in China. From the introduction, "The little book is sent forth with the earnest hope and prayer that those who read these sketches may come to see the truth of what Paul said: 'God hath made of ONE BLOOD all men under heaven.'"

First published in 1920, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.
