Item Description
By Bo Caldwell. (Hardcover)
International aid workers still put their lives at risk today, so this tale of a young Mennonite couple, inspired by Bo Caldwell's grandparents, who meet and marry in North China Plain while doing missionary work, is a timely reminder of the unique self-sacrifice of these extraordinary individuals. Will Kiehn is a minister and Katherine, his wife, is a trained nurse/medical practitioner. Together they build deep and abiding friendships in China that dwarf the ministry they establish over twenty-seven years in Kuang P'ing Ch'eng (City of Tranquil Light). Together they survive bandits, illness, famine, and wars; they serve the local community often with few medical supplies and go with little food, but still, they persevere with personal strength and commitment because of their staunch faith, grace, and humility. When they finally return to the US, it is with great sadness and a sense of alienation.
