The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them.

From the dust jacket:
The many readers of Geoffrey Bull's earlier books, especially When Iron Gates Yield and The Sky Is Red, will welcome this new biographical work. It is a story of missionary challenge and adventure depicting the author's life on the Tibetan border during the turbulent period immediately preceding the Chinese Communist invasion.
He writes engagingly of wily lamas and fierce mountain tribesmen; of encounters with stubborn yaks and spirited Tibetan stallions; of scenes of breath-taking beauty and unspeakable squalor; of people of all classes and conditions, lovable, proud and independent, but lost in the darkness of ignorance and sin.
Forbidden Land is the story of a people who live intense, harsh lives, with violent death at the hand of bandits or political enemies a constant threat–but it is more. In contrast with the listless turning of prayer wheels and the worship of gods of metal and stone, Geoffrey Bull reveals the transforming power of hope through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is an inspiring and challenging book, full of vivid imagery and a glowing witness to Christian faith.
