Xinjiang

China’s Gateway to the World

£19.99

In The China Chronicles, Paul Hattaway draws on more than 30 years’ experience in China and numerous interviews with church leaders to provide insight into how the Living God brought about the largest revival in the history of Christianity.

Xinjiang, a vast region in northwest China, has been much in the news in recent years because of the plight of more than one million Muslim Uyghur people there. But Xinjiang also has a long Christian history. Today there are nearly one million believers, mostly among the Han Chinese who have migrated into the region in recent decades. In this book, the sixth in the series, Hattaway focuses on the heroic efforts to reach the Uyghurs and other Muslim groups who remain largely untouched by the gospel.
