I abandoned this book. The writing wasn't strong but it was forgivable as I was looking at it as a catalyst for spiritual reflection and a glimpse into the persecution in China. However-the book started becoming too bizarre and the spiritual ideas too repetetive to sustain my efforts. I'm giving it two stars for the fact that it did promote some thought and it did make me more aware of the some of the events in China that were previously unbeknownst to me. ( )

Amazing. Randy Alcorn has written one of the most honest, intense exposés on life in China that I've ever come across. Walk with Ben alongside his friend Li Quan, as they share a friendship that began some 20 years before at Harvard. Only, now they are in Quan's village, living in the deprivation of a peasant's home. Ben comes to see how his friend's life is far richer, more fulfilling than the life Ben has sought in his stride to the top of Getz International. Destined to be the next CEO, he gives up his dream to experience what Quan has. How can that be? Read on... ( )
