Highland Books commissioned this translation of daily readings by Wong Ming-Dao (b. 1900) to give English readers a glimpse of the faith which sustained him through twenty-three years of imprisonment and his wife through twenty years. The cover shows the author at home in Shanghai.

The ability of Chinese Christians to maintain their witness, as they have done through decades of pressure, is undoubtedly due - at least in part - to the faithfulness, tenacity and courage of such outstanding leaders. Wong Ming-Dao's unwillingness to compromise is one of the secrets of his strong leadership and can be seen in these writings.
