Description: This book transports readers to a world where faith and culture collide. It tells captivating stories of individuals whose lives are touched by the power of the Catholic Church, both within and beyond its traditional boundaries. The author explores themes of missionary work and religious devotion, set against the backdrop of early 20th century China. We meet individuals like San Min, a young boy who finds a crucifix and finds solace in its presence, eventually leading him to embrace Catholicism. The book also explores the dedication of women like Mary Angela White who leave behind their privileged lives to dedicate themselves to missionary work in China, inspired by their childhood experiences and the call of God. The stories in this book are not just historical anecdotes but profound explorations of how faith can inspire individuals to overcome hardship and dedicate themselves to a greater purpose. This book offers a moving and insightful glimpse into the lives of those who found their calling in the service of the church and the wider world.
