Faith Cook shares her first-hand story of the trials faced by a child of missionary parents living in China during the turbulent period of the Second World War and the asubsequent Communist takeover. While much has been written about the heroic achievements and sacrifices of many Christian missionaries to China, Troubled Journey introduces us to a side of the story that has rarely, if ever, been told. Many young people today have known much emotional deprivation early in life. This story of childhood in a war-torn country may well help them to reconcile their painful experiences with God's loving kindness and his purposes of grace for them. It may indeed enourage all who read it to appreciate in a new way the care and mercy of God, overruling even the tragedies of life and turning them to good for his people.
Faith Cook, born in China, is an English Christian author. She was brought up in China, in a Christian environment, with both her parents being involved heavily in the China Inland Mission work. She was quick to learn the works of the Lord in her parents' life and became a Christian.
She is best known for the books, Under the Scaffold and Troubled Journey Faith made a quick leap up the ratings in Christian ratings. "Troubled Journey", a book about her life and the troubles she had growing up, and how the Lord shaped her life is a real inspiration to young and old Christians alike. She has also written many Christian historical books, doing in-depth Christian studies into individuals such as Lady Jane Grey, William Grimshaw, Samuel Rutherford and her newest book on John Bunyan called "The life and times of John Bunyan" as well as studying the historic pasts of the most famous hymn writers in the book, "Hymn Writers and Their Hymns'"
