One of China’s Christians: Pastor Hsi and the Cost of Faith in North China Part 1
Published 2 months ago
Description
⭐ Catholic Star–Rated Critique ★★★★☆ (4.5 / 5 Stars) One of China’s Christians is a profoundly moving Christian testimony of grace under persecution. Mrs. Howard Taylor presents the life of Pastor Hsi with spiritual clarity, humility, and deep reverence for Christ’s work among the suffering faithful of North China. Though written from a Protestant missionary perspective, the narrative resonates strongly with Catholic readers through its emphasis on martyrdom, redemptive suffering, repentance, and unwavering obedience to God’s will. Pastor Hsi’s conversion, imprisonment, and heroic endurance echo the lives of early Christian martyrs and Confessors of the Faith. His witness powerfully affirms Catholic teachings on the sanctifying power of suffering, the universality of the Church, and the triumph of grace over worldly authority. A highly recommended audiobook for listeners interested in missionary history, persecuted Christians, and authentic lived holiness.
