Green Leaf in Drought Time

Summary

Author: Isobel Kuhn

Summary: Green Leaf in Drought Time is the true story of the escape of the last China Inland Mission (CIM) missionaries from Communist China, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Mathews and their small daughter.

Reading Level: Young Adult

Reviewed by: Bethany Smith, 2002

Our Angle

I found A Green Leaf in Drought Time unusual and interesting in that it tells of the difficulties Christians faced upon the arrival and reign of communism, rather than about how they planned to get out.

Mr. and Mrs. Mathews' faith was inspiring, for while they were real human beings and made mistakes, God blessed their faith and always cared for their needs, sometimes in unusual ways! Recommended.

End Slavery

The best way to show your appreciation for this free service:

Free the slaves

For many years, our focus was on helping families train their own children. Our heart is still there, but this season of life has us focused on something old, yet new – slavery. More people are held as unwilling slaves today (27 million) than at any time in history, including over 200,000 in the U.S., mostly women and children.

If you appreciate the service BookAngles has provided over the years to you and others, then we invite you to show that appreciation with a donation to our work with International Teams.

to end slavery, because every slave is a family member. Thanks.
