Paperback. This is the history of Prudence Bell's family, going back several generations to set the scene for the missionary couple,Herbert and Elizabeth, who went out to Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, China, and were brutally killed in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. It is a thoroughly written historical account,which ends on a high note when Prudence visits the church of the martyrs in 2006, to receive an astonishing welcome, discovering she is the answer to their prayers, and that the church of her great-grandparents has a congregation of over three thousand. Quite harrowing in places, but with an ultimately happy ending, this is an inspiring read for anyone facing the challenges of truly living all-out for Christ in a hostile world. The story of husband-and-wife missionary martyrs, the church they founded in China and how their great-granddaughter answered their prayers. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

A compelling history of missionary couple, Herbert and Elizabeth Dixon, who went out to China and were brutally killed in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, and the story of their incredible legacy that endures today.
In 1900, Herbert Dixon and his Welsh wife, Elizabeth, were brutally murdered for their Christian faith in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, China. Lives from a Black Tin Box record not only their tragedy, but also the ultimate victory as Prudence Bell visits the scene of their deaths and receives a moving welcome from the Chinese church her great-grandparents founded 120 years earlier.
An amazing collection of family documents has enabled Prudence to capture vividly the missionaries’ lives; their childhoods in London and South Wales, their marriage, and their deep faith. Their story is also a poignant testimony to the power of a mother’s prayer over six succeeding generations.
This is an inspiring read for anyone facing the challenges of truly living all-out for Christ in a hostile world.
