Isobel Kuhn was a Canadian missionary who worked in southern Yunnan province among the Lisu people before and during the second world war. This is the story of her conversion to Christ as a young woman, and the trials and tests through which she learned to trust in God. It ends as she heads out to China. I've read the book several times over the years, and enjoyed it each time. The book seems to carry a quality of purity...

Thanks to God for letting me read this book! I bought the Chinese version half a year ago after a sister's recommendation. But I didn't read it at once. Last week when I picked up this book and I couldn't drop it off. It rekindled my love towards the lost people, the love God asked us to practice. God could change Isobel's life, so He can change mine. So He can change yours. END

This is my favorite of all Isobel Kuhn' books. She likens the Lisu tribe people to opals, the stone of fire. As Christians, it is only through brokenness that we can reflect Christ's light as an opal shows the fire in crevices and imperfections of the stone.

Wonderfull book. This book is about a runaway child of God who comes back to Him and is being used by the grace of God in a wonderfull way. What spoke most to my heart was the power of prayer which leaded to succes to reach people by God's Word and Spirit.

After having read Isobel Kuhns's book in college nearly 40 years ago, it's truths remain a dynamic part of my lifestyle. Isobel truly cooperated with God in such a fervent way that He was able to complete an amazing ministry in China. Although this book was written decades ago, it's relevance for today is outstanding. We will be using it this summer as part of a ladies' Sunday School class about prayer. I challenge anyone...
