Book Synopsis

Inspire kids to persevere and trust God through this children's biography of Gladys Aylward.

This true story about Gladys Aylward walks kids through her adventures overcoming many obstacles to be a missionary in China.

From the start of her journey of becoming a missionary, she faced setbacks. Having worked day and night to earn enough money to travel to China, her train only got as far as Siberia. Gladys then had to sneak onto a ship, take another boat, another train, a bus and lastly a donkey!

When she eventually arrived in China, the villagers were deeply suspicious and threw mud at her! But, with time, Gladys earned the trust of those around her and told them all about Jesus.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
