Flinchbaugh’s well researched book details the difficulties of being female and of being Christian in Communist China. It also details the faithfulness of a loving God. As readers follow the events of Kwan Mei Lin’s life, they will be amazed at the courage of the pastors and members of China’s house churches, devastated by the torture of those imprisoned for their faith, heartbroken by the conditions in some of the country’s orphanages, and encouraged by God’s faithfulness through it all. The acceptance of life’s hardships associated with being a Christian in China and the perseverance shown by those claiming Jesus as Savior there, is so different that the prosperity message often preached in our own country. These brothers and sisters are models for handling what seems to be on the horizon for Christians in the United States. Daughter of China is also an inspiration to those in our country who have the resources for providing for orphans, abandoned children, and the persecuted.
