Review
Safely Home is not only a first-class story; it’s a bracing wake-up call about Christian persecution in China. You’ll be challenged. Chuck Colson
This brilliant story mixes the warmth of a good novel with the harsh reality of the persecuted church.
Dr. Tim LaHaye

“Is this the day I die?” Quan stiffened at the shout behind him. The voice rang with authority. “You meet in the night like the criminals you are. How dare you defy the law? In three minutes we will shoot every man, woman, and child who does not declare himself loyal to the people rather than the gwelios, foreign devils.”
