China's Christian Martyrs, by Paul Hattaway

Last year we announced the release of a new book, "China's Book of Martyrs," which was the first volume of the Fire and Blood series of books on the
Church in China. Now we would like to announce a follow up book, "China's Christian Martyrs." Here are the differences between the two: The first book, which has a white cover and was published by Piquant, is large and exhaustive. It profiles more than 1,000 martyrs and has 540 pictures, more than 2,000 notes and sources, and extensive bibliographies and indexes. This book, China's Christian Martyrs, is smaller in size and is published by Monarch. It is the "popular" version of the larger book. That means it was written in a less formal style, all notes and end-matters have been removed, and it contains about 500 profiles and 195 pictures. You could say that while the first larger book was more for fanatics of the Chinese Church, this one is for those who enjoy a more casual read.

An estimated 250,000 Christians have died in China for their faith since the Gospel was first introduced in the seventh century. Since 1900, more Christians have been killed in China than in all other countries of the world combined. They include some well-known names, such as John & Betty Stam, Eric Liddell (whose life was celebrated in the film Chariots of Fire), and Watchman Nee. But the great majority of China's martyrs have been unsung heroes of the faith: simple men and women, boys and girls who when tested "did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." (Revelation 12:10-11).

Tom White, the Executive Director of The Voice of the Martyrs USA, says: "China's Christian Martyrs carefully and masterfully details an anthology of China's martyrs from the first recorded arrival of missionaries in AD 635. You will be sobered, saddened and perhaps even angered at times... And you will celebrate as you read of the relentless courage to stand for Jesus in the face of imprisonment, torture and death."

China's Christian Martyrs is packed with inspirational testimonies of how God's people chose the eternal rewards of the kingdom of God over this world. Those who have read the book have reported being moved to tears and greatly encouraged in their own walk with Jesus Christ. Our desire is that the book will glorify God, inspire those who read it, and challenge believers to a deeper and more radical walk with Jesus Christ.

We are accepting orders for this book from anywhere in the world. Our price includes postage.

The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun

"We are condemned to Victory!"

"You may begin reading the book "The Heavenly Man" on your sofa, but you will finish it on your knees. This is what happened to me. Any one reading these pages will not remain the same. Brother Yun's testimony wakes and shakes us up. This is the message: In the fiercest persecution God's people, filled with the Holy Spirit, are invincible! They out live and out die the enemies of God and fill the world with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are condemned to Victory! This is not only true for China, but also for the rest of the world."   Reinhard Bonnke - German Evangelist

This is the story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan Province and used him mightily to preach the gospel despite intense persecution. The book challenges any complacency about the situation in China, where persecution is still a daily reality for millions. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the character and beauty of Jesus. This astonishing book will form a watershed in your spiritual life. The Heavenly Man was voted 'Book of the Year' in 2003 by the UK Christian Booksellers Convention.

ISBN# 1-85424-597-X, 352 pages
Price: US$18 ($13 + $5 Postage)

The Fire & Blood Series, China's Book of Martyrs, Vol 1, by Paul Hattaway

China's Book of Martyrs is now available! The first volume in the Fire & Blood series tells the story of all who have been martyred in China for their faith in Christ. From the Tibetan Christian who was bound and sewn into a wet yak skin and left in the sun to be squeezed to death as the skin tightened; to the Uygur Christians in northwest China who were told by the Muslim Emir, "It is my duty, according to our law, to put you to death because by your preaching you have destroyed our faith," this book contains accounts of both the best and worst of human nature.

"As you read China's Book of Martyrs you will meet hundreds of brothers and sisters who laid down their lives for the kingdom of God. It will change your life! Paul Hattaway is the most dedicated and skillful researcher on the Church in China today. I am delighted to recommend his work to you." - Brother David, author of 'God's Smuggler to China'

"Paul Hattaway was stirred by the Holy Spirit to record the testimonies of hundreds of Christian martyrs since the Gospel first reached China. My nation is experiencing a rich harvest that has grown from soil watered by the tears and blood of the martyrs. I strongly believe this book is not only a gift to the people of China, but will inspire Christians of this generation to obey God's call so that the Great Commission might be completed." - Brother Yun, 'The Heavenly Man'

China's Book of Martyrs is a large and comprehensive book. Each of its 656 pages is packed with inspirational testimonies of how God's people chose the eternal rewards of the kingdom of God over this world. Those who have read preview copies of the book have reported being moved to tears and greatly encouraged in their own walk with Jesus Christ. China's Book of Martyrs draws from years of extensive research, and contains approximately 550 pictures. Our desire is that the book will glorify God, inspire those who read it, and challenge believers to a deeper and more radical walk with Jesus Christ.

Back to Jerusalem: Called to Complete the Great Commission - Three Chinese Church Leaders with Paul Hattaway

Click here to read a review by Howard Brandt of SIM International

Napoleon once said: "When China is moved it will change the face of the globe." Today those words are becoming a reality through the powerful spiritual vision of the Chinese church to send 100,000 missionaries across China's borders to complete the Great Commission, even in this generation. Here three Chinese Christians, who together have spent more than 30 years in prison for the Gospel, explain the history and present-day reality of the Back to Jerusalem movement.

"Who could ever have believed that after 50 years of Communism and terrible persecution, the church in China would have grown so mightily that China might become one of the foremost missionary-sending countries in the 21st century? This remarkable book shows this vision in our day" Patrick Johnstone - author of Operation World

ISBN# 1-903689-03-1, 178 pages
Price: US$17 ($12 + $5 Postage)

YUN: The Illustrated Story Of 'The Heavenly Man' - Brother Yun with Paul Hattaway

Since 'The Heavenly Man' was first published in 2002 it has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world, been translated into more than 30 languages, helping many people come to faith in Christ. It was voted "Christian Book of the Year" in 2003, and "Christian Biography of the Year" in 2004. Now, we are pleased to announce the release of YUN: The Illustrated Story of The Heavenly Man. YUN was produced in comic book form in an attempt to reach out to young people with this dramatic story of God's grace and love. Our prayer is that unbelievers might be led to repentance and faith in Christ after reading YUN, while Christians would be strengthened and encouraged in their walk with God.

YUN was skillfully drawn in the contemporary comic style favored by teenagers today. Young people (and those young at heart!) who have been shown copies of YUN have been unable to put it down.

From Headhunters to Church Planters - An Amazing Spiritual Awakening in Nagaland, by Paul Hattaway

Surely one of the greatest spiritual revivals in history happened in a remote corner of northeast India from the 1950s to 1970s, when more than one million Naga people came to Christ. For centuries the Nagas were head-hunters and lived bound by dark demonic powers. Paul Hattaway, the author of The Heavenly Man and Back to Jerusalem, is a frequent visitor to Nagaland. He has interviewed numerous eyewitnesses to the revivals, documenting how it came about, the opposition and brutal persecution that followed, and the astonishing miracles that accompanied it.

This book will not fail to inspire you in your own walk with the Lord. It will give you a rich insight into God's love and power for the downtrodden. It will make a great gift for you or your Christian friends.

"There is a tendency today to associate 'revival' and miracles with Charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there. These powerful and life-changing visitations came to orderly, conservative Baptist Congregations. As a result, Nagas found their true dignity not in themselves, their ethnic roots, their head-hunting or in the defence of their homeland, but they discovered it in the person and life of Jesus Christ, the Living and one true God. This is a moving story of bravery and betrayal, suffering, persecution, supernatural intervention and subsequent human weakness."

"Revival simply means the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This action of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's soul must always result in a definite change towards maturity. When a person is resuscitated, immediately after oxygen enters the lungs and movement of the body starts. This is what the Holy Spirit does to a numb soul. During my twenty year association with the revival movement I have seen that continuous change is the heartbeat of revival. The mighty revival broke out and swept across Nagaland. It was a wind of refreshing to the numb souls of Naga Christians." - Naga pastor Hevukhu Achumi Sema

"Today, almost one million Christians live joyful lives in Nagaland. We have been conquered by God's overwhelming grace and love. Many individual lives have been transformed by the revivals, and there has been greater lay participation in the church's total ministry as many discovered their calling from God. I recommend From Head-hunters to Church Planters as an accurate and incisive account of what God has done among the Nagas. May God be glorified through this book, and may your own heart be revived as you read the wonderful things that God has done in Nagaland!" - Naga pastor Gwayhunlo Khing

The price of From Head-Hunters to Church Planters, including postage to anywhere in the world is US$13 ($10 + $3 postage).

Peoples on the Move - Introducing the Nomads of the World, by David J. Phillips

NOMADS - they inhabit every continent yet have 'no abiding city'. Always on the move, they are often 'invisible', unreached, despised & easily forgotten by settled citizens. This is the most comprehensive source of information on all the nomadic peoples of the world, regionally organized. For Bible college students, mission researchers & strategists, preachers and teachers:
... Maps help you to locate these nomadic people groups, many of them unevangelized
... Black-and-white photographs help you visualize these people
... People profiles and bibliographic data on status of evangelization help you pray for the nomads

As you develop a new understanding of the political, agricultural, economic and cultural foundations of nomadic life you will praise the 'God of nomads' for his rich diversity and work among these peoples - and even consider your own calling and priorities in life. With forewords by Malcom Hunter (SIM missionary among nomadic peoples for 40 years) and Stan Guthrie (News editor Christianity Today).

"Peoples on the Move will be invaluable to those wishing to pray in a more informed way... And for those embarking on service over seas with Peoples on the Move there should no longer be the impossible task of trying to obtain background information, it is all ready and waiting to be use."
John Horton, Tearfund Regional Manager, Eastern and Southern Africa
