Killing Fields Living Fields: Faith in Cambodia

by Don Cormack

Book Overview

The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful.

Worth reading

Many valuable accounts of Christians' lives and experiences in Cambodia from the early 1920's to the late 1990's.

Review for "Killing Fields, Living Fields"

The book is good for those who are interested in the understanding the religious background of the country, particularly in the missionary work.

Great portrayal of God at work

A very vivid & inspiring account of missionaries at work in Cambodia! For someone like myself who doesn't know much about missionary work, especially in third world countries & during war time, it's a real eye & spirit opener! This book lets me witness God's abundant grace through many great Christians, bringing me tears on few occasions. I have a deeper understanding of what it means to be humble, to love, to have faith, & to commit as a Christian.

Exciting history of the Cambodian church!

While this book does provide a historical account of the formation and growth of the Cambodian evangelical church, I enjoyed it more for the exciting tales of what the Lord accomplished in the lives of these wholly committed believers.Their stories fill you with sorrow over the horrors they had to face in return for their faith, but they also fill you with awe at the amazing grace and deliverance shown to many of these saints as they served their Lord so faithfully.I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the Pol Pot era in Cambodia and especially to believers who are wish to be inspired by those who have been tested and found faithful.
