This is a great little story of a missionary who was arrested as the Communists took over China. When he was arrested the Communist could not find one local person to testify anything against Wallace's character. When you read this book, you will see why.

Fletcher's is the only recent comprehensive history of the Southern Baptist Convention. The past twenty years have produced little but various interpretations of modern Southern Baptist controversies. Unfortunately, Fletcher has succumbed to the same temptation. From the distribution of the text, it appears that Fletcher has raced through the convention's early history just to get to the denominational controversies. It would be easy to criticize Fletcher for his myopia if one could locate any Southern Baptist historian prepared to do otherwise. As the situation now stands, this is the best (indeed, the only) Southern Baptist History available new anywhere.
