Here is an amazing story about a man whose life made such a great impact for God. The Bible is filled with stories of God's work in the lives of ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things for the Lord. These stories were written not only to give us the truth but also to inspire us to trust the Lord. Pastor Hsi experienced danger, adventure, persecution and great power to heal the sick. But what marked his life the most was not the great things he did for God but his deep and profound awareness of his dependence upon God. This book will challenge you to follow the example of this man. He saw the sovereign in-breaking of God, time and time again yet did not allow it to puff him into pride or arrogance. His simple childlike faith led him to take the New Testament at face value: he put into practise whatever he read. He fasted, he prayed, he laid hands on the sick and cast out demons. The reality of these experiences should compel us to search our hearts again and ask if we are availing ourselves of the authority that has been given to us. If you dare to be changed read on!… (more)

Outstanding biography of a Chinese Christian pastor. His dependence upon the LORD God in prayer is most notable. The last chapter on our LORD God's sovereign work and answer to prayer in moving.

A useful and inspirational book particularly for those dealing with addictions. Pastor Hsi, an opium addict, found freedom from his addiction through his faith in Christ and some native medicine. He went on to establish Refuges throughout his area of China to help others find the freedom he had received. He found that without belief in Christ, demonstrated by giving up idol worship, the deliverance was mostly short-lived. Long periods of fasting and prayer, gave Hsi the connection to God that he needed to make wise decisions and have insight into his daily problems. Hsi was well aware of the power of his enemy, Satan, and considered this enemy to be behind the curse of addiction. What the psychological profession today calls having an Addictive Personality, Hsi called giving Satan an entry in the life and mind of the addicted person. He was active and successful in exorcisms and faith healing. A man who simply took God at his word in all things and joyfully served His kingdom here on earth. (

Epigraph

"Thou hast made us for Thyself; and our heart is restless till it finds rest in Thee." -- St. Augustine.

Thou art the source and centre of all minds,
Their only point of rest, Eternal Word!
From Thee departing they are lost, and rove
at random, without honour, hope, or peace.
From Thess is all that soothes the life of man,
His high endeavour, and his glad success,
His strength to suffer, and his will to serve.
But, of Thou bounteous Giver al all good,
Thou art of all They words Thyself the crown!
Give what Thou canst, without Thee we are poor;
And with Thee rich, take what Thou wilt away.
W. Cowper--The Task.

Dedication

To the beloved memory of Ch'en and Tseng of Honan

Men of like spirit with Hsi himself and to others still living whom it is a privilege to claim as our personal friends among the literati of China
