Books like Mission to Cathay

This book gives a fascinating look into the history, culture, and customs of China while hooking the reader into the story of Father Ricci and his young servant. I appreciate the honest look at the difficulties that face missionaries entering a new territory; no high-flown, “he was so perfect and such a saint and accomplished so many amazing things for God” here. Rather, we see the slow unfolding of a mission, and how God works in His own time.
