Book Review: China's Reforming Churches edited by Bruce P. Baugus

When you hear stories of China, one may think with all the persecution and oppression from the government that nation would have less Christians than America. Nothing could be further from the truth. China has more Christians than any other country in the world right now. The church in China is the fastest growing in the world. Churches there grow faster than most churches in America.

Bruce P. Baugus has complied a book talking about what is going in China called, China's Reforming Churches, which has a number of authors talking about the history of reformed mission in China not only from the United States but Korea as well. This book deals with reformed churches in China today and the challenges they have. Knowing a few people who have gone to China, they can testify that being a Christian there is not easy because you never know what the government will do and if someone you are talking to could be a undercover police officer who could arrest you for talking about Jesus.

Christians in America need to be encouraged by what is happening in China. This book shows that the church is growing rapidly in a country that some might be considered a cause not worth getting into. This book is also a good tool to be used to pray for what is happening in China and the details should be shared in all churches.

Thanks Reformation Heritage Books for letting me review this book.
