《今天你仍旧说话》
Still Speaking: Faith that Can't Be Locked Down
Zhang Qiang, the director of our video series By Faith They Still Speak, wrote this book as a way of connecting the lesser-known sides of eight historical Christian figures with his own lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Join him in connecting with the pain and love of the martyr Lizzie Atwater; be inspired by William Edward Soothill's missionary work; reflect on Hudson Taylor and the "Yangzhou Riot"; and consider the cultural concerns of people like C.S. Lewis, Vincent Van Gogh, and Zhang Xiaofeng. Through this work, Zhang Qiang will guide you through history and into the present to help you see that the one who controls history is still speaking to us in today's uncertain and divided world.

The posters in this collection belonged to Rev. Albert and Trina Selles, who served as missionaries to China from 1925 to 1949. They used the posters as tools for teaching and evangelism.
