Things More Excellent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175807144)

"Things More Excellent" offers a compelling glimpse into the life and experiences of Isabella E. Baird, a missionary in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This book serves as both a historical document and a testament to the dedication and resilience of missionaries who sought to bridge cultural divides and offer assistance to those in need. "Things More Excellent" is a must-read for anyone interested in missionary history, Chinese culture, and the intersection of faith and cultural exchange.
