KILLING FIELDS - LIVING FIELDS
An unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Church - the Church that would not die by Don Cormack ~ "This book stunned me....such heroism, such uncompromising faithfulness." - Elisabeth Elliot ~ The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible decade of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation. Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand's crowded camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge. The camps are now closed; the Church is free; the time is ripe for growth and development. Killing Fields, Living Fields tells this complex story through the lives and testimonies of a handful of strategic Christians.

SMOKING THE MANGO TREES
An Extraordinary Story of Spiritual Discovery and Growth From the Filipino Jungles by Martin C. Haworth ~ "The elder warmed to our presence. 'Another thing that worries me is the way that many of our Christians are returning to chanting to the spirits of the dead,' he explained. 'And so many of our folk don't bother coming to church any more....' " The young tribal church faces still challenges. Mormon missionaries are making inroads. So are strong local cults. Fear of spirits is a daily reality; exploitation by the luktanon, the lowland Filipinos, is common; backsliding a constant problem. Alarm grows as the church elders feel unequal to the task of scriptural correction. They pray for a couple who can teach and guide. Simultaneously God is preparing Martin Haworth and his wife Alexandra to meet this challenge. Martin's vivid account, full of arresting detail, describes how he and Alexandra, with their two young children, settle among the tribespeople.
