Back to the Jerusalem of the East - Professor of Religion and Chairman of the Department Luther H Martin

North Korea is a country shrouded in mystery for most people. It brings to mind barbed wire, famine, and Kim Jong Il's nuclear shenanigans. This book touches on some of the negative side to the nation as well, but also focuses on what God has done in North Korea in the past and the new work He is doing there today. One of the greatest revivals in all of Asia took place in what is now referred to as North Korea (officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea). Now, over 100 years later, most Westerners think the church in North Korea has been destroyed. This couldn't be farther from the truth. There is a body of believers there that has held out for generations, even after years of persecution and attempts to destroy Christianity. On top of this, sparks of revival are flying all over the country as thousands of North Koreans quietly give their lives to Christ. How can this be? This is the story of those men and women of God, and their struggle in one of the darkest spiritual places on Earth. This is not another book about North Korean politics or man-made solutions for their problems. It contains the latest information on what God is doing in North Korea, as spoken by the North Koreans and Chinese missionaries themselves. Be prepared to see a side of North Korea you've never seen before.
