There is something deeply gripping about this book. The author was in China as a missionary when the Com munists seized and imprisoned him and for three years sought to “re educate” him by means of brain washing. He wrote of his experiences in a former book, “When Iron Gates Yield,” which is a document in suf fering. This volume, however, goes more deeply into the spirirtual as pects of this experience and is in reality a sort of diary of the soul. His call to the mission field, God’s leading in his life, and his demonstration of the sufficiency of grace yield stamina and lead to maturity in the Christian life of the reader. The Bible is ap pealed to often as a source of strength and means of interpretation of the spiritual s t r u g g l e . Excursions of praise and worship intersperse the narrative. 254 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago; $3.50. Sandals at the Mosque by Kenneth Cragg In Sandals at the Mosque we have the first of a series of studies to be called the Christian Presence Series. The plan is for an authority in the field to lead his readers into an ap proach to each of the major religions with a view to first discovering and then to understanding what may be held in common. This must be done reverently if it is to be successful. We must in the author’s words “ take off our shoes” (p. 9). Of course the Mos lem does this when he enters into the Mosque for worship. The real purpose of the series, according to its editor, M.A.C. Warren, is to enable the Chris tian promulgators of the Gospel to grasp more intelligently the great challenges of the modern world in so far as these major religious groups are concerned. These systems are becom ing missionary minded and are of fering a real challenge to Christianity in seeking to provide answers to the world’s questionings. While the kind of Christianity that is brought into the encounter in this book leaves much to be desired, there are valu able insights and profitable applica tions presented. A glossary and bibli ography will aid the serious reader. 160 pages; cloth; Oxford University Press, New York; $2.75.
