Many have heard of the extraordinary explosion of Christianity throughout China in recent decades. Few, however, know how it occurred. Paul Hattaway draws on thirty years’ experience in China and numerous interviews with church leaders to provide insights into how the living God brought about the largest revival in the history of Christianity. In a narrative full of jaw-dropping stories, The China Chronicles documents the acts of the Holy Spirit throughout China, where phenomenal growth has occurred in the furnace of intense persecution. Hattaway starts his account with Shandong Province, which is home to almost one hundred million people. On multiple occasions, God has revived his Church in Shandong by pouring out his Spirit with great power and grace. As a result, Shandong today could be rightfully called ‘China’s Revival Province’.
All who love Jesus should care about what He has done in China, the largest move of God in the history of the Church. Shandong Province has hosted some of the most remarkable developments, and no one is better equipped to tell about them than the lifelong servant of God for the Chinese Church, Paul Hattaway. This was a worthwhile read and I plan to read the whole series.
