Figuratively dark--its daily life is hidden from outsiders, its citizens reticent, and its propaganda vast. And spiritually dark-its ruler, Kim Jong-il, is both worshipped and feared and the gospel is squelched without question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInto this darkness, Esther walked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up a Chinese-Korean, Esther wanted nothing to do with Christianity until a visit to an underground church in China flooded her with the mercy and power of the Spirit--and she was given an unusual call: be a missionary to North Koreans. But again, Esther wanted nothing to do with it, or rather, with \u003ci\u003ethem\u003c\/i\u003e. Rude, filthy, and abusive, North Koreans seeking refuge in China were the worst of the worst. However, when Esther slipped inside North Korea for the first time and witnessed for herself the shocking conditions, she finally understood: they acted desperate, because they were.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEsther gave her all to her mission. Although imprisoned and tortured by both North Korea and China, sometimes destitute and always in danger, having few resources and little time for family, for the past fifteen years Esther has faithfully spread aid and the gospel witness to North Koreans. \u003ci\u003eSmuggling Light\u003c\/i\u003e is her true tale of bravery, humility, and complete reliance on the mighty hand of God in one of the darkest nations in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Chang, Eugene Bach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629117927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629117928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitaker House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Esther Chang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984727802111,"sku":"9781629117928","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_166d735d-ee9f-42fe-844b-52911e63de84.jpg?v=1683273896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smuggling-light-esther-chang-9781629117928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
