Gladys Aylward: No Mountain Too High (Trail Blazers) (Revised)

On her own, as a single female, she carried her passport and other documents, along with the only money and belongings that she had, in a small briefcase with a teapot and a saucepan tied to the handle. Many looked on Gladys Aylward’s expedition to mainland China as foolhardy and dangerous. It was.   After having purchased her one–way ticket to China, she left the United Kingdom with a single–minded determination to do what God had commanded her. She knew she was meant to go to China – even if no mission was prepared to support her.   Unconventional is the only way to describe this journey to the country that would eventually become her home. A theme that would continue throughout her mission work in China where she thwarted authorities, became involved in the Chinese resistance and rescued over 100 children from the invading Japanese army.   The Trailblazer’s series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today.  This gripping and astonishing story from Myrno Grant will challenge young readers to trust God as Gladys Aylward did.   A well–known and long–standing series: Over 50 titles Great for ages 9 to 14 Published in 14 languages Half a million books sold Also available in box sets when one book is not enough! 7 themed box sets, each with 5 books Each biography follows the trailblazer’s journey to faith, and on to the work that God had planned for them.
