✦ Synopsis

“Liao's

coverage of Christians allows truth to shine in the darkness. That's the beauty

of his writings.” —Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010

Nobel Peace Prize

Chinese

dissident author Liao Yiwu—the once lauded, later

imprisoned, and now celebrated author of The Corpse Walker —profiles the

extraordinary lives of dozens of Chinese Christians, providing a rare glimpse

into the burgeoning underground world of belief that is taking hold within the

officially atheistic state of Communist China. A luminous writer, and not a

Christian himself, Yiwu offers a uniquely objective

and insightful perspective on the position Christians occupy in mainland China,

in a book that readers of Philip Jenkins' The Lost History of Christianity

as well as Peter Hessler's Country Driving will

not want to miss.
