These are the Generations by Eric Foley is an unbelievable, miraculous account of three generations of a family in North Korea, maintaining their family's tradition of Christianity through the past 60 years of Korean dictatorship. How miraculous? The grandfather stopped a Japanese army from destroying a local Church. He later saved his village from death and another one as well. Finally, he was led to destroy all the family Bibles, the day before a surprise raid by the North Korean police. These stories and others read more like additional chapters from the book of Acts than a recent history book. Read it, and be awed. ( ) $18 n 1907, the Pyongyang Revival brought an explosion of Christianity to Northern Korea. Missionary William Blair proclaimed "great oceans of prayer beating against the throne of God." Fifty years later those oceans evaporated under the searing persecution of North Korea, but a few tiny streams trickled on. This is the story of how one North Korean family lived out the Great Commission for more than fifty years in the most Christian-hostile nation in human history, from generation to generation, through labor camps, prisons, interrogations, and the greatest challenge of all - everyday life in North Korea no reviews | add a review
