Lives from a Black Tin Box gives you the background to the founding and persistence in prayer of the Christian Church in China - as it was, how it came to be and how it lives and grows today.
This is the story of Prudence Bell's ancestors; the missionaries, Herbert and Elizabeth, who went out to Xinzhou in Shanxi Province, China, and died in the 'Boxer' Rebellion of 1900. This harrowing and inspiring story has an ultimately heartwaming end when Prudence visits the Chinese church of the martyrs in 2006.
Astonishingly, Prudence is welcomed by the 3000 strong church established by her great-grandparents and greeted as an answer to their prayers.
Author Dr. Ronald Clements’ story of prayer and perseverance is an essential read for everyone interested in the Church in China, and an inspiring encouragement for anyone facing the challenges of living for Christ in a hostile world.

This is the history of Prudence Bell's family, going back several generations to set the scene for the missionary couple, Herbert and Elizabeth, who went out to Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, China, and were brutally killed in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.
It is a thoroughly written historical account,which ends on a high note when Prudence visits the church of the martyrs in 2006, to receive an astonishing welcome, discovering she is the answer to their prayers, and that the church of her great-grandparents has a congregation of over three thousand. Quite harrowing in places, but with an ultimately happy ending, this is an inspiring read for anyone facing the challenges of truly living all-out for Christ in a hostile world.
