Ten Stories from the Killing Fields: Taken from the Award-Winning Killing Fields, Living Fields (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838097295)

In the 1970s, Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge army transformed Cambodia into a nationwide death camp in one of the most brutal periods of mass killing in modern history.

Cormack's fluency in the Khmer language, and his pastoral heart, meant people could talk with him openly, and recount their pain, struggle, hope as they survived these cruel years. The ten short stories in this book are 'powerful, riveting, compelling, even overwhelming'. And they are stories for our own times, as evil tyrants continue to emerge.

Cambodia, now best-known for Angkor Wat and tourism, saw unimaginable brutality in the 1970s. Where was God when Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge army turned its peaceful pastures into 'killing fields'? One-and-a-half-million people died.

Here we learn what happened, and glimpse profound spiritual truth through the lives, courage, faithfulness and deaths of a few Christian believers. Further, we read of how Comrade Duch, the 'Grand Inquisitor' himself became a Christian and was baptised.

These are stories for our own times, as evil tyrants continue to emerge. Think Putin, Assad, Kim Jong-un, the Ayatollahs....
