Format:Paperback
Gladys Aylward was a maid from Britian whom was deemed not educated enought to become a missionary. With the call of God on her life she saved enought money to buy a one way ticket to China in the early part of the 20th century.
He story is incredible, the amazing feat, working in a Christian inn (travellors lodge), not long after her arrival, evangelisation, her trials and tribulations, encounters with foot binding (old Chinese tradition for females) and the Japanese invasion and the 'impossible feat' of leading 100+ orphans to safty through Japanese lines.She loved her life not to death and lived for the glory of God and the salvation of the Chinese; that they might know Christ.
Her life is living testiment to the power of God through those who are weak and lowly. Amazing read, moving and challenging. God bless

This book is good at being able to read and stop and pick up where you left its an easy read. The stories of her life is very much God lead and inspiring book of an ordinary but yet extraodinary woman. The hollywood film based on her life acted by Ingrid Bergman is not accurate to Gladys Aylwards real life. The book is far much more incrediable and truthful. Enjoy!

this is a very challenging book. firstly it shows us God's magnificent hand in the life of an ordinary woman, who was used to do extraodrinary things in the name of the Master. Secondly, it challenges us to attempt great things for God in our everyday lives.

Good reading
A small book about a small woman which contained a gigantic story, with powerful descriptions of her experiences, which were not exagerated and were simply stated. Read more

Great
Great book, factual, inspirational and fascinating story. Gladys from a humble and approachable angle. Buy the Inn of the sixth happiness DVD but read the facts from here first.

Interesting but short
Amazing as a true story (even if a little difficult to believe in parts). But I knock 2 stars off for brevity and lack of detail and explanation at times. Read more
