China's Opening Door: Incredible Stories of the Holy Spirit at Work in One of the Greatest Revivals in Christianity
Go behind the scenes of China’s spiritual revival
An amazing true adventure that will inspire and challenge you
When the Chinese government opened the country to foreigners in early 1978, Dennis Balcombe jumped at the chance to visit. After basing his ministry out of Hong Kong for nearly ten years, he was eager to finally proclaim the gospel in the country he had come to serve. In less than a year, he was meeting house church leaders and supplying them with Bibles for inland distribution, a path that would eventually lead to his arrest.
In China’s Opening Door he shares his story, bringing to light the tremendous move of God that has been happening in the country. Filled with incredible accounts of miracles, Bible delivery, daily persecution, and even imprisonment for preaching the gospel, the book serves as an inspiration to believers everywhere about the power and faithfulness of God.
The book also issues a those who live for God will suffer persecution when they stand up for the truth. Had these Chinese house church leaders submitted to the government’s regulations, they would not have gone to prison, and there would have been no persecution. But the tens of thousands who eventually became Christians would still be in darkness.

This started better than it ended. I felt that he was sharing some cool things that God was doing in China. Then I felt that it was more about what he did in China and less than what God was doing. But how he was critical in much of what happened and the pictures with him in most of them. It just seemed a little off to me.

This is an amazing and encouraging book. God is at work in China. Balcombe knows from experience. He moved to Hong Kong in 1969 and since 1978 has been going into mainland China. He tells of the miracles he has seen himself and those told to him by others. There are young pastors in the Three-Self Churches (government approved) that are preaching the gospel. Revival is happening. Read this book and be encouraged.
