While previous works on the history of Christianity in China have largely centered on the scientific and philosophical areas of Catholic missions in the Middle Kingdom, China's Saints recounts the history of Christian martyrdom, precipitated as it was by cultural antagonisms and misunderstanding.

I am a Wardrobe/Personal Stylist and this book has very valuable information on learning more about personal style, as well as what looks great on different body types. Unfortunately, I could have overlooked countless mistakes in grammar and spelling if the writing was passable. As a medical social worker, I see many over-medicated patients. He loves it! Good choice!! I can't really write a review for this book as I do not know anything about it. I bought this as kind of a supplemental book for some MCA
