(Amazon.com Review) Product Description:Inside of Hong Kong was the infamous Walled City. Strangers were not welcome there. Police hesitated to enter. It was a haven of filth, crime and sin. Prostitution, pornography and drug addiction flourished. Jackie Pullinger had grown up believing that if she put her trust in God, He would lead her. When she was 20 years old, God called her to the Walled City. She obeyed. And as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal hoods were converted, prostitutes retired from their trade and heroin junkies found new power that freed them from the bondage of drug addiction. Hundreds discovered new life in Christ. Chasing the Dragon tells the whole amazing story exactly as it happened. Equally amazing has been the reach of this ministry, now detailed in this updated and revised edition. From Hong Kong to the Philippines, Thailand and beyond, the ministry that started with Jackie and her friends taking people in to live and care for them has continued and developed to form the present St. Stephen s Society. Readers will be inspired by this tale of trust and loving as Jesus would.

-For anyone wondering if they could truly live a life of radical love...
-For anyone wondering if the Beatitudes mean anything...
-For anyone wondering how to follow Jesus all the way...
"If God is not with us, we do not want to continue. If the Sermon on the Mount is simply impractical, our mission work is hopeless. We have no backup plan. We have nothing but Him."
--Heidi Baker

I agree ... great reading list! I'm glad you recommended those.
I agree as well. Anything by Heidi Baker is worth reading; the biographies of missionaries are also must reads. And as I am currently reading Christine Caine's book, I have to say that it will be a book that I pull off the shelf and re-read on a regular basis. It's a MUST HAVE! :)
Bridget just loaned Christine Caine's book to me. I'm looking forward to reading it!
