The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959.

They carry with them just about everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it, from garden seeds to Scripture, is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Killing Fields Living Fields: An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodian Church, The Church That Would Not Die

by Don Cormack & Peter Lewis.

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe * Pattaya..

 

This heart-wrenching, heartwarming narrative prompts tears, prayers, praise, and hopes in turn.

The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North West Cambodia in the mid-1920's.

Growth was slow and painful.

Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible decade of the 1970's, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation.

Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand's crowded refugee camps, and scattered it across six continents.

At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge.
