Chasing the Dragon

release date: Jan 19, 2012
Chasing the Dragon
Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Celluloid Sermons

release date: Oct 01, 2011
Celluloid Sermons
Celluloid Sermons offers the first historical study of this phenomenon. Terry Lindvall and Andrew Quicke highlight key characters, studios, and influential films of the movement from 1930 to 1986, assessing the extent to which the church's commitment to filmmaking accelerated its missions and demonstrating that its filmic endeavors had the unintended consequence of contributing to the secularization of liberal denominations.

Ils chassaient le dragon dans la Cité interdite

Ils chassaient le dragon dans la Cité interdite
La Cité interdite est encore une sorte d'enclave à l'intérieur de l'actuelle Colonie britannique de Hong-Kong. Les étrangers y sont indésirables. La police hésite à y pénétrer. C'est un antre de la drogue et du crime. Le vice s'y étale insolemment. Trente mille personnes, peut-être le double vivent sur ce territoire grand comme un mouchoir de poche. Quand Jackie Pullinger a quitté son pays, l'Angleterre, elle était loin de se douter que Dieu allait l'envoyer dans un tel endroit. Mais dans cette Cité pourrie, de dangereux Triades ont accepté le Sauveur, des prostituées ont abandonné leur triste métier, des drogués ont été délivrés de leur esclavage. Le fruit de la consécration et du courage d'une jeune femme vraiment motivée.
