About Dragon Ride: True Stories Of
Product Description In the 48 true stories in Dragon Ride, the beauty of the Lord is seen through the eyes of Buddhists, atheists, idol-worshippers, Muslims, and an animist as they encounter Jesus. Dragon Ride records the actual conversations Grace had with her Chinese friends, and many of them embraced Christ as the answer to their deepest longings. From her 29 years living in China, Grace writes about persecution, evading the police, saving lives, helping the homeless and disabled, and she even writes about the murder of a friend. But more importantly, she writes of a God who acts on behalf of His children, of a faith that grew in the crucible of China, and of learning how to effectively share the gospel. Grace’s stories are raw, personal, and humorous, and she openly shares about her own spiritual struggles and growth. Review “Dragon Ride is the most exciting modern mission book I have ever read. It is a lively narration of how God used a former atheist to reach atheists and others in one of the greatest mission fields in the world—China. It is realistic but positive, a God-centered, and God-empowered view of outreach work that will rekindle the desire to reach the “unreachable.” Pastors, youth leaders, teachers, parents, Christian apologists, as well as students, will profit greatly from the techniques learned from three decades of on-the-job experience.” Norman Geisler, Ph.D. Apologist and co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist “There are books that we should read, and books that we want to read. This book is a rare blend of both. Grace Jacob has written an important book about her 29 years as a career missionary in China with her husband and family. The stories are riveting, and it is literally a compulsive page-turner. Jacob’s writing style is clear, descriptive and emotionally-accessible, and I could hardly put it down. It challenged me in how I need to address the felt needs of people I want to share Christ with, in my own sphere of influence.” Dr. John Townsend, New York Times bestselling author, and co-author of Boundaries, from the Foreword “Buckle your seat belts for an adventure at every turn (of the page) and in multiple dimensions! I could not put it down. Grace, the author and guide to this adventure, has chosen vignette after vignette to immerse you into the ‘not-for-the-faint-of-heart’ challenges and realities of living and working in China and following a God-given north star. And, the adventure is made even more vivid because it is told with truth, grit, wit, wisdom, and heart. Yet it gets better than that because of Grace’s blessed awareness of physical, spiritual, cultural, and biblical contexts. Grace’s battle-tested journey—and the journeys of those she loves—are on view. You’ll be boldly encouraged and inspired to answer God’s call for your own life.” Dr. Benjamin K. Homan President, Langham Partnership (formerly John Stott Ministries) “As an American pastor I’ve always dreamt of spending time in a far-away culture as a gospel carrier … But the reality is that I probably never will. And yet, after reading Dragon Ride, I feel that I have. I feel as though I’ve been a missionary in China without ever stepping foot on its soil. Every fear, tear, struggle, adjustment, joy, relationship, conversation, and gospel triumph recorded here became mine. Honest, sincere, human, and accessible. I found this work extremely easy to pick up and hard to put down. But what inspired me the most was the gospel-centered intentionality and heart of Grace. She was a woman, a wife, and a mother on mission, to the glory of God. I will be putting this book in the hands of everyone in our church, that we, too, may be diligently committed to tell the good news of him who saves all people everywhere. Evangelistically inspiring!” David Thompson Pastor, The Door, Three Rivers, OR “You will laugh and be inspired as you witness this bold family live out their faith.” Brenden Bridges Pastor, Richvale Evangelic
