Format:Paperback
I found this book utterly compelling.
Don Cormack tells the history of Christian Mission and of Cambodia through the eyes of the people living there. The stories are of people he met or was told of as he worked there himself. He manages to weave their lives and what was happening in the country around them in such a way that the horrors of the Khmer Rouge period and subsequent refugee crisis become very personal.
I would not have chosen to read a history of Cambodia fearing unmittigated gloom but here it runs along side joy, hope and faith. I can't recommend it highly enough

I find myself turning to this book over and over again for illustration and quotation. It is excellently written and provides an account of a church in a country we probably do not think very much about - a country which has known inordinate suffering and cruelty. The book, however, shows that God has been extraordinarily faithful to His people and church in the situation. I never leave this book, primarily sickened by man's inhumanity to man. My primary reaction is always one of marvel at the living God's work amidst so much pain.
The book really deserves to be some sort of Christian classic and to be widely known and read.

Excellent book; best I've read in ages
You know from the first pages that the author (Don Cormack) is writing from the heart. He has an intimate knowledge of the people and the flavour of the times. He was there. Read more
