Booth, Bradley. The Killing Fields and the Cross. Pacific Press, 2024. 160 pp.

“In the shadow of Cambodia’s dark past, where the brutal regime of Pol Pot turned life into a desperate struggle for survival, one woman’s journey stands as a beacon of hope and faith. The Killing Fields and the Cross tells the remarkable true story of Jolani, a young Buddhist woman whose life was irrevocably altered by the horrors of the Khmer Rouge era.

Born into a prosperous family in the serene town of Bot Roka, Jolani’s early years were filled with promise and joy. But as Pol Pot’s regime unleashed terror across the nation, her idyllic life shattered. Her family’s wealth, status, and safety were obliterated, thrusting them into a relentless fight for survival amid the infamous Killing Fields.

As tragedy struck again and again—losing her husband, her siblings, and even her youngest daughter—Jolani’s resilience was tested to the limits. Yet, amid the darkest of times, she encountered miraculous signs that would guide her on an unexpected path. In the face of insurmountable odds, Jolani embraced Christianity and discovered the transformative power of Jesus Christ.

The Killing Fields and the Cross is more than a story of survival; it’s a narrative of spiritual awakening and the relentless pursuit of peace. Join Jolani on an unforgettable journey of enduring faith and the powerful transformation that awaits when one dares to surrender all.”
