To a China racked by famine and bloody civil war in the 1930s, a young English-born missionary, Jakob Kellner, brings all the crusading passion of his untried Christian faith. He burns to save the worlds largest nation from Communism.

Powerful new emotions challenge and reshape his faith -- and entrap him for life in that vast countrys tortured destiny.
