Lisuland. J.O. Fraser and Isobel Kuhn told us of it, but what is it like now, 100 years later? Did the Lisu church survive? This amazing, true story will transport you to 21st century Lisuland, and move you to pray for its revival! While working among the Buyi [Bouyei] people, in southern China, we read J.O. Frasers story, Behind the Ranges. We were astounded at the similarities between his situation and struggles in Lisuland, a century ago, and our life in Buyiland, so we bought copies of the book to send to praying friends. We never dreamed that God would soon move us to Lisuland, and keep us there for ten years!About the author:Christie Taylor was raised in a small town in northern Canada. While studying nursing in Edmonton she met and, eventually, married David Lietz. They moved to China and have worked and raised a family there, mostly in remote locations where foreigners are rarely seen, sharing a life that neither of them could have imagined. {from the back cover}One morning after breakfast, the kids came running inand said, Mom, theres a crazy lady out there! Theywere right, there was. She was young -- maybe in herearly twenties -- and quite pretty, except for her mattedhair and filthy face and clothes. She was perched on acouple of cinder blocks, watching the children withevident interest, interspersed with loud, perturbedstreams of gibberish aimed at an invisible audience.What might she do? Was it safe to let the kids play outthere? .....This is a true story, and the realities of life in the developing world (especially regarding childbirth) are perhaps inappropriate for younger children, therefore the age rating for this book is set to 14. Parents are aware of the maturity level of their own children, and, at their own discretion, may allow younger children to read this, or read it to them. After all, even the Bible has scenes and situations which are inappropriate for younger children.
