Hace un siglo, el mundo luc a muy distinto a como luce hoy. Los grandes imperios coloniales continuaban extendi ndose por los cinco continentes, miles de millones de personas viv an en la ignorancia y la pobreza e incluso gigantescas estructuras pol ticas como el imperio chino se tambaleaban. Qu pod an hacer los habitantes del planeta frente a fuerzas devastadoras como el imperialismo, el fascismo o el comunismo? Qu esperanza quedaba para las naciones que quedaban atr s y eran v ctimas de la agresi n? Y, especialmente, exist a una respuesta cristiana a preguntas tan apremiantes y angustiosas? El d a de restauraci n, es una novela hist rica corta sobre Jimmy Yen y su ministerio en China a principios del siglo XX. Jimmy Yen fue un joven evang lico chino que respondi no s lo con la transmisi n del mensaje de Jes s sino vivi ndolo en un esfuerzo colosal por educar a su pueblo y mejorar su econom a agr cola. Todo esto en un mundo en el que China estaba desgarrada por una terrible guerra civil y las fuerzas del imperio japon s la atacaban varios a os despu s del suceso de Pearl Harbor. La verdadera historia de Jimmy Yen es una prueba de que es posible creer en Jes s y seguir sus ense anzas incluso en los momentos m s aterradores, desde la revoluci n china y la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta las armas at micas y la Guerra Fr a. A century ago, the world looked very different than it does today. The great colonial empires continued to spread over the five continents, billions of people lived in ignorance and poverty and even gigantic political structures such as the Chinese empire were tottering. What could the inhabitants of the planet do in the face of devastating forces such as imperialism, fascism or communism? What hope was left for the backward nations that were victims of aggression? And, in a very special way, was there a Christian answer to such pressing and distressing questions? The Day of Restorationis a short historical novel about Jimmy Yen and his ministry in China in the early 20th century. Jimmy Yen was a young Chinese evangelical who responded not only by transmitting the message of Jesus but by living it in a colossal effort to educate his people and improve their agricultural economy. All this in a world in which China was torn apart by a terrible civil war and the forces of the Japanese empire were attacking it several years after the Pearl Harbor event. Jimmy Yen's true story is proof that it is possible to believe in Jesus and follow his teachings even in the most terrifying times, from the Chinese revolution and World War II to the atomic weapon and the Cold War.

About the Author

César Vidal es historiador, escritor y comunicador norteamericano de origen español. Doctor en Historia -premio extraordinario de fin de carrera-, Derecho, Filosofía y Teología, ha recibido numerosos premios relacionados con los medios de comunicación y literarios como, entre muchos otros, el Premio de Novela Histórica Ciudad de Cartagena (2000) por La mandrágora de las doce lunas; el Premio Jaén (2004) por El último tren a Zúrich, el Premio CCEI (2005) por la misma obra, el Premio Espiritualidad 2004 por El testamento del pescador, el Premio Ciudad de Torrevieja por Los hijos de la luz, el premio Harold Kregel (2021) por Apóstol para las naciones, y Premio Club de periodistas de México (2021) por el programa La Voz. El Dr. Vidal conoce dieciséis idiomas y ha traducido, al español, a diversos autores como el Premio Nobel ruso Alexander Solzhenitsyn. En la actualidad dirige el programa de radio La Voz que es escuchado por millones de personas a uno y otro lado del Atlántico y preside la plataforma de TV www.cesarvidal.tv. El Dr. Vidal considera que la crisis que sufre la sociedad actual es, fundamentalmente, de carácter espiritual y, por ello, es pesimista sobre la posibilidad de que pueda ser solventada por instancias políticas, sindicales o económicas. Cree, sin embargo, en los indescriptibles efectos que pueden tener, en el espíritu humano, la relación personal con Dios, el seguimiento de las enseñanzas de Jesús y la obediencia al Espíritu Santo.

Dr. Vidal believes that the crisis facing today's society is fundamentally spiritual in nature, and for this reason, he is pessimistic about the possibility of it being resolved by political, union, or economic entities. However, he believes in the indescribable effects that a personal relationship with God, following the teachings of Jesus, and obedience to the Holy Spirit can have on the human spirit.
