Cocoons of Silk
In the 1930s, in a small town in eastern China, a young man faces a dilemma. Ever since the Emperor fell, social values have been changing. Modern young people are rebelling against the dictates of their parents and their ancestors. To him, the most compelling, revolutionary idea is this: Marriage could, and should, be about mutual attraction. But when the old rules are gone, how do you decide what is right and what is wrong? Can a man fall in love with two women at once? A romantic at heart, he knew better than that. Or did he? These pages contain a gripping but true story. Names have not been changed to protect the innocent, or the guilty. This tale involves young love, romance, blackmail, betrayal, a huge risk, a chase, regret, second chances, and consequences.

Christianity in China
Now revised and updated to incorporate numerous new materials, this is the major source for researching American Christian activity in China, especially that of missions and missionaries. It provides a thorough introduction and guide to primary and secondary sources on Christian enterprises and individuals in China that are preserved in hundreds of libraries, archives, historical societies, headquarters of religious orders, and other repositories in the United States. It includes data from the beginnings of Christianity in China in the early eighth century through 1952, when American missionary activity in China virtually ceased. For this new edition, the institutional base has shifted from the Princeton Theological Seminary (Protestant) to the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural Relations at the University of San Francisco (Jesuit), reflecting the ecumenical nature of this monumental undertaking.
