10 Publishing has recently brought back into print the life story of Gladys Aylward, entitled A London Sparrow, and written by Phyllis Thompson.
After giving her life to Christ at age 18, Gladys felt called by God forsake all and go as a missionary to China, where she became a mighty force for the gospel. Her Christ-led adventure took her on a perilous solitary journey which saw her escorting hundreds of children through a war zone – even stopping a riot in a Chinese prison! Even though she faced adversity and great risks, she felt she would rather die with “her people” than desert them.
Her dedication and her simple, transparent and challenging faith in God challenge us today to live whole-heartedly and unreservedly for him!
