Pearl of the South China Sea

This book is the eighth in Paul Hattaway’s series The China Chronicles. In the series, he draws on more than thirty-five years of experience in China and numerous interviews with church leaders to provide insight into the extraordinary explosion of Christianity throughout China in recent decades, the largest revival in the history of Christianity.

The southernmost Chinese province of Hainan was once nicknamed “the gateway to hell” because of its harsh, disease-ridden climate. God has transformed the island with a powerful revival that began in the 1990s, which has swept hundreds of thousands of people into the kingdom of God.
