Xinjiang (book 6): China's gateway to the world

by Paul Hattaway

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.

Paul Hattaway continues his thrilling account of the spread of Christianity in China. This book deals with the province of Xinjiang. Among other matters it documents the Christian witness to the ethnic groups in that province, especially the Uyghurs. The author calls attention to the concentration camps where at least 1.5 million Uyghurs have been placed, tortured, and other terrible atrocities committed against them. Highly recommended.

I have not read the other books in the series about other regions in China, but I can’t think their stories are as tragic and shocking as this one. A very interesting read about one of the remotest places in the world.

In the tradition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
Eye-opening.

What a great heart- wrenching read! I almost had to stop and pause in each of the last few chapters because the reports given were as recent as 2020. We must continually pray for the people in Xinjiang!
