Item description from seller

From the PREFACE by J. Manning Potts: "The Upper Room takes pleasure in introducing its readers to Meditations from a Prison Cell by F. Olin Stockwell. It is a thrilling little volume. Dr. Stockwell had been a missionary in China for years before he was arrested by the Communists. He first sailed for China in 1929 and had been one of China's most devoted missionaries. He was arrested and put in a cell where he stayed for many months. Here he composed these meditations or devotional talks with only the help of Moffatt's translation of the New Testament. After he had written them twice in prison, they were confiscated by the Communist officials and he had to write them a third time. Fortunately the notes which he had jotted down on the borders of his New Testament were still there and he worked from them. One thinks of men like John Bunyan or even the Apostle Paul as they wrote from their prison cells. Sometimes people think that the days of writing from the dungeons are past. That is not true. Here is evidence. These are eloquent testimonies to the reality of the Christian faith in these days." THIS book is AUTOGRAPHED by the author. Softcover edition. 112 pages. Dimensions: 5" by 7.25".
