'Chinese Diamonds for the King of Kings' Summary
'Chinese Diamonds for the King of Kings' is a collection of stories and observations by Rosalind Goforth about her time as a missionary in China. Goforth uses vivid language to describe her encounters with Chinese customs, beliefs, and challenges in spreading Christianity. The book explores the cultural differences between Western and Chinese societies, particularly emphasizing the disparities in religious practices and moral values. While Goforth presents her experiences from a distinctly Christian perspective, her writing provides insights into the social and political landscape of China in the 19th century. The book's title is symbolic, referring to the potential Goforth sees in the Chinese people as 'diamonds' waiting to be refined by God's grace. Throughout the book, Goforth expresses her passion for sharing the Christian message with the Chinese population while grappling with the cultural and social complexities of her mission. Her observations and experiences are presented through a unique blend of personal anecdotes, cultural commentary, and spiritual reflections, offering a glimpse into the realities of missionary life during a time of great social and religious change in China.Book Details
