Killing fields, living fields : an unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Church, the Church that would not die
"The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible decade of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation." "Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand's crowded camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge." "The camps are now closed; the Church is free; the time is ripe for growth and development." "Killing Fields, Living Fields tells this complex story through the lives and testimonies of a handful of strategic Christians. Don Cormack, who has himself spent over 20 years among the Cambodian people, adds the background of Cambodian life, history and culture. Book jacket."--Jacket
