Ben Fielding is a top executive in a microchip company and is on the fast track to becoming the next CEO. His company plans to market their products in China, using cheap Chinese labor to produce at a lower cost. To get a human interest angle for the marketing team, Ben goes to China to stay with his old college roommate Li Quan whom he has not seen in twenty years. "GETZ International knows China. We've been there." In college Ben invited Quan to a Bible study where he met his Savior. Since then, their lives have taken two drastically different turns. Ben has lost his faith and has just fired his cousin for his outspoken Christian witness in the office. Quan has been practicing his faith and is living very poorly with his wife and son, rather than as a professor of history as they had expected while at Harvard. This is a heart-moving story of persecution in two very different countries. As Ben sees the daily pressure faced by Chinese believers, he realizes that the riches of God are eternal and returns to his faith in a new and deeper way. Although it is a fiction book, it accurately portrays the kind of reality our Christian brothers and sisters live with on a daily basis. This powerful book has the potential to make a life-changing impact on the reader. It portrays a deep and intimate fellowship with God, a strong devotion to and love for God's Word, the wonder and excitement of Heaven, and the Father's own involvement with those persecuted for His name's sake around the world. I would say this is Randy Alcorn's best work. It is a depiction of what it is to live in intimate fellowship with God and helps American believers to develop a Christ-like concern for their suffering brothers overseas. This world is not our home. It does the heart good to read a story that leads to a deeper appreciation of what is eternal.
