Fujian
The Blessed Province
Many people are aware of the extraordinary explosion of Christianity throughout China in recent decades, but few know how it has occurred. In The China Chronicles, Paul Hattaway draws on 35 years of experience in China and numerous first-hand interviews with church leaders to provide insight into how the Living God has brought about the largest revival in the history of Christianity.
Presented in a style that is exciting, relevant and transformative, Hattaway documents the acts of the Holy Spirit throughout China, preferring to focus on the wonderful things God has done for men rather than on what men have done for God. Fujian, a province in southeast China with more than 40 million people, was considered an obscure region in the past, but the gospel has blazed such a pathway that by the 1920s Fujian contained more Christians than any other province of China. The home of key Chinese church leaders, including John Sung, Watchman Nee, and Leland Wang, the church in Fujian has impacted millions of people in Southeast Asia and throughout the world.
