In God is Red, Chinese dissident journalist and poet Liao Yiwu--once lauded, later imprisoned, and now celebrated author of For a Song and a Hundred Songs and The Corpse Walker--profiles the extraordinary lives of dozens of Chinese Christians, providing a rare glimpse into the underground world of belief that is taking hold within the officially atheistic state of Communist China. Liao felt a kinship with Chinese Christians in their unwavering commitment to the freedom of expression and to finding meaning in a tumultuous society, even though he is not a Christian himself. This is a fascinating tale of otherwise unknown personalities thriving against all odds. God is Red will resonate with readers of Phillip Jenkins'' The Lost History of Christianity and Peter Hessler''s Country Driving.
