The Bells Are Not Silent Joann Pittman

When Joann discovered a 126-year-old American bell hanging in a church in southwest China she knew there was a story to tell. Who had decided to ship it? How had it been transported? How had it survived the political turmoil of the 1950's and 1960's? She also knew that if there was one bell there must be others. Over the course of eight months she travelled around China looking for old church bells, finding ones from the United France, Germany, Russia, and the United States. This book is a collection of stories about those bells. But more importantly, they are stories of God's faithfulness to his church in China.
