Crossroads: A Journey from Communist China to Christ
Ebook
Imagine living in a time and place where lawlessness and violence flood the streets like a raging river. It's a time of rebellion, uncertainty, and chaos. This story is about a man raised in that world, in 1960s China. As a child living in an atheist country immersed in turmoil, he witnesses atrocities and suffering most of us could never imagine.
Hoping to get away from the horrors, the man flees to America with limited financial resources and minimal English skills to be educated as a psychologist. Though he physically escapes the clutches of the country where he was raised, the traumas of his childhood remain with him as a dark cloud of depression and despair.
Crossroads provides a glimpse into a time in China's history most of us never knew. This man, a survivor of that tumultuous period, spends thirty years of his life seeking peace and understanding. His travels take him across the world as he explores dozens of faiths. When traditional religion fails him, he seeks hope through shamans, mystics, and the supernatural.
Crossroads is not as much about one man's struggles as it is a testament to God's love and commitment to remain with each of us throughout the storms of our lives.
“Very rarely does a book have such powerful historical and religious significance. Crossroads not only opens eyes to the atrocities of Mao’s regime but to the beauty of God’s saving graces. Through tears of both sorrow and joy I read the stories of John and of the author, mesmerized by their journeys of faith. Years of pain and searching led them to the Catholic Church, and now we rejoice, for they are truly home.”
