Goforth of China (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436704748)

Goforth of China is a memoir written by Rosalind Goforth about her experiences as a missionary in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book details her journey with her husband, Jonathan Goforth, as they traveled throughout China spreading the Christian faith and helping to establish churches and schools. The book provides a vivid account of the challenges and dangers they faced, including bandits, natural disasters, and political unrest. It also offers a glimpse into the culture and customs of the Chinese people, as well as the impact of Western imperialism on their way of life. Throughout the book, Rosalind Goforth shares her personal struggles and triumphs, including the loss of her children and the difficulty of balancing her missionary work with her role as a wife and mother. She also reflects on the spiritual lessons she learned during her time in China, and the ways in which her faith was strengthened by the challenges she faced. Overall, Goforth of China offers a fascinating and inspiring account of one woman's journey as a missionary in a foreign land, and the lasting impact she had on the people she served.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
