Randy collected many of his stories from Voice of the Martyrs and The Bible League newsletters. If you don’t subscribe to them, he would recommend you do so.

Intercessors for China publish a calendar to pray for the persecuted church. You can order one by calling 888-999-7959.

The book that explains the Chinese characters is mentioned in the acknowledgements—it’s by C. H. Kang and Ethel Nelson, called The Discovery of Genesis. You can order it via Amazon. Randy says it’s fascinating.
