”Adventist Mission in China in Historical Perspective presents a concise history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in China. While the book primarily details the major developments taking place at the administrative and institutional levels of the mission work in the Far East alongside accompanying statistics, it also highlights the contributions of its most prominent leaders within their secular historical contexts. As such, it offers a fresh synthetic account of the work in China not detailed elsewhere. It is the hope of the author that the history presented may both serve to inspire today's and tomorrow's leaders that God has surely been at the helm of the work in a challenging field, while also pointing out how certain developmental trends that have taken place may have hindered or not advanced our mission as rapidly as we all might desire.”
