Killing Fields, Living Fields: An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodian Church

By: Cormack, Don

Killing Fields, Living Fields tells the story of the church in Cambodia from its birth, then on through the Khmer Rouge years - one of the most barbaric regimes in modern history. This is a book for our times. Think Putin, Assad, Kim Jong-un...

Five OMFers, including Don Cormack, entered Phnom Penh shortly before it fell. Don's fluent Khmer has enabled the West to receive Cambodia's story as recounted by its deeply-traumatized yet ever-trusting Christians.

The Khmer Rouge tried to stamp out Christians, but the church would not die. Remarkably, Comrade Duch, Pol Pot's Grand Inquisitor, who oversaw the cruel torture, interrogation, then murder of tens of thousands, himself became a Christian in the 1990s. He died in prison in 2020 with a Bible and hymnbook beside his bed. What lavish, utter grace of God, and what power there is in his gospel

To introduce a new generation to this epic classic, Don has also produced Ten Stories from the Killing Fields.

Killing Fields, Living Fields won the 'Christian Book of the Year' award. This eighth and final edition, bringing the story up to 2025, is published by Dictum Press.
