  From the coauthor of The Heavenly Man comes another incredible true story of God's power manifested in China. Project Pearl is the powerful account of the delivery, in June 1981, of 1 million Bibles into China by a tugboat and barge manned by twenty dedicated missionaries. The delivery was blanketed in prayer and took place right under the noses of the People's Liberation Army, naval patrol boats, and coastal radar of China's Guangdong Province. The bravery and vision of those involved in Project Pearl provoked Chinese printing presses to print Bibles as well, and gradually the availability of God's Word began to stoke the flames of the now evident Chinese revival.

  Project Pearl was the delivery, in June 1981, of one million Bibles into China by a tugboat and barge manned by twenty dedicated missionaries. The delivery was soaked in prayer and took place right under the noses of the People's Liberation Army and the naval patrol boats and coastal radar of China's Guangdong Province. It was organised by Brother David, a big ex-Marine and friend of Brother Andrew ('God's Smuggler'). David's military training proved crucial in this audacious, visionary feat. His story is at the heart of this book. The immediate consequence of Project Pearl was that Chinese printing presses started to turn out Bibles too: the longer term consequence was to stoke the flames of the Chinese revival which are now so wonderfully evident.
