SABBATH SNAPSHOT : au-TEA-biography

God's Double Agent is both a compelling and a disturbing read. It's a true story. That's the disturbing part.
I couldn't quit reading but the relentless persecution of Christians by the the Chinese communist was beyond anything I could ever imagine. The RULES for "family planning. Break the rules and "they" will break you for violation for a States Basic Policy. (p. 316) A blind man's escape over shard's of glass, scaling of walls and finding sighted friends to help him. "God must've helped me escape." (p. 324) Testimony after testimony....of rescues through the underground church and ChinaAID, established by The author.

My favorite parts are the variety of ways the Chinese people have come to know the Lord---only God could orchestrate such testimonies. An imprisoned political dissident was given a copy of Streams in the Desert, upon his release and he became a believer. before escaping to the United States. (p. 255)
Laura Bush describes Fu's story as " a testimony to the power of faith and an inspiration to people struggling to break free from oppression." 

Reviewers call it a page-turner. I have to admit I read it in a matter of a few days.
