Griffith John: The Story Of Fifty Years In China is a biography of the Welsh Christian missionary, Griffith John, who spent over 50 years in China spreading the Gospel and establishing churches. The book is written by Ralph Wardlaw Thompson, a fellow missionary who worked alongside John in China.The biography covers John's early life in Wales, his journey to China as a young man, and his experiences as a missionary in various parts of the country. It also delves into John's personal life, including his marriage to a Chinese woman and the challenges they faced as an interracial couple in a conservative society.Throughout the book, Thompson highlights John's dedication to his work, his passion for the Chinese people, and his unwavering faith in God. He describes John's efforts to learn the Chinese language and culture, his work in establishing schools and hospitals, and his involvement in social and political issues.The book also provides insights into the history and culture of China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Boxer Rebellion and the fall of the Qing Dynasty.Overall, Griffith John: The Story Of Fifty Years In China is a fascinating account of the life and work of a pioneering missionary who made a significant impact on the people of China and the history of Christian missions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
