This is the history of Prudence Bell's family, going back several generations to set the scene for the missionary couple,Herbert and Elizabeth, who went out to Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, China, and were brutally killed in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. It is a thoroughly written historical account,which ends on a high note when Prudence visits the church of the martyrs in 2006, to receive an astonishing welcome, discovering she is the answer to their prayers, and that the church of her great-grandparents has a congregation of over three thousand. Quite harrowing in places, but with an ultimately happy ending, this is an inspiring read for anyone facing the challenges of truly living all-out for Christ in a hostile world.
PRUDENCE BELL grew up in Devon not too far from her grandfather, the son of Elizabeth and Herbert Dixon, the missionaries in the book. She moved to Wales on her husband's ordination into the Church in Wales. She has three grown-up children and has been involved with various ministries over the last 40 years. Dr. Ronald Clements moved with his wife, Anne, and young daughters to China in 1986, where he lectured in civil engineering at a university in Fujian Province until 1996. Ronald is now a full-time writer and researcher in Britain.
