Gladys Aylward's life was full of adventure, full of mystery and truly thrilling! There aren't many missionaries who have inspired a film! Not many missionaries have been spies! There aren't many missionaries who have saved 100 children while crossing a combat zone. But Gladys did all this and many other extraordinary things!
She left for China alone because God had asked her to go there. All she had were two suitcases, a kettle and a saucepan attached to the suitcase handles. Gladys was almost captured by Russian soldiers. She had to escape in the middle of the night with the help of a mysterious woman. When Gladys finally arrived in China, it was only the beginning of her adventures. There was going to be wars and espionage, love and heartbreak and a long, long journey to freedom. In all these adventures Gladys knew that God is always God and that no mountain, even the last, the most difficult to cross, would overcome her courage. God was with her all the way. This book can be read at all ages. At the end of the book, each chapter offers topics for reflection for young readers.
