Kathi Macias' works of Christian fiction are a blessing to all those who read. Red Ink is my personal favorite. In this book she brings the character Zhen-Li to life. As Zhen-Li stands on her faith despite the impending consequences, you can't help but feel you are right there beside her, beckoning her to go on. This is a beautiful read and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

My Thoughts

Because Yang Zen-Li chooses to deny her faith in Christ, she is serving ten years in a China prison camp. This leaves her husband and sister-in-law to take care of their young son. Evil is all around in the prison camp and prison guard Tai Tong is among one of the most brutal and is full of hatred for the prisoners. Knowing how this prisoner treats her cell mate, Yang is fearful of what will happen to her if she doesnÃ¢ÂÂt do what he wants.

Meanwhile Julia, a grandmother in a California nursing home thinks back to the time she and her husband served time in China as missionaries. As she is thinking about this, the Lord lays on her heart to pray for a woman in China.

In Red Ink, Kathi Macias tells another heartbreaking story of horrific things happening to ChristianÃ¢ÂÂs who stand up for their faith. Sadly, this is loosely based on a true story, and knowing there are women in China going through what this young lady did in this story has caused me to start praying more for those in other countries sharing GodÃ¢ÂÂs Word. To think there are people that actually face these things gives me chills. In Red Ink, Kathi again captures our hearts with unbelievable characters that are unique and play their parts in the story so powerful that you feel their pain, and their joy in knowing the Lord. This heartbreaking story tells the power of GodÃ¢ÂÂs love and protection in our lives. The faith of Yang Zheng-Li is amazing. I was in tears at the end of the story. I wonÃ¢ÂÂt share it, you need to buy the book and read it, but it is such an amazing part of the book, and truly shows what can happen if Christians share Christ, no matter how difficult the circumstances.

I love this book, and all of Kathi MaciasÃ¢ÂÂ books that IÃ¢ÂÂve read. If she is a new author for you, it is a MUST that you grab a copy of her books and read them. They will stay with you for a long time, and they will truly change you life.

I received this book from the author to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade CommissionÃ¢ÂÂs 16 CFR, Part 55.

Chinese persecution can't destroy faith

Red Ink juxtaposes two compelling storiesÃ¢ÂÂthe life of Chinese Christians Zhen-Li and her husband, Zhou Chi, is interwoven with that of several residents in a retirement center and Maggie, the wayward granddaughter of one of the women. Julia, one of the senior residents, continues to pray for the people of China, a country where she and her late husband had once ministered. This ties binds the two tales.

Zhen-Li had been raised in a home that firmly supported the Party. She rejected her parentsÃ¢ÂÂ training to accept Christ as her Savior, and was arrested for teaching religion to children. Her ten-year sentence proves a nightmare. Even in the midst of her suffering Zhen-Li reaches out to her traitorous cellmate, Mei, and continues to witness to her despite further threats. The guard Tai Tong vows to destroy Zhen-LiÃ¢ÂÂs faith, but he underestimated the power of God in her life.

The miraculous ending could only be orchestrated by the Lord. This story of redemptionÃ¢ÂÂboth physical and spiritual begs to be read. I recommend the entire Extreme Devotion series, of which this is book three. All contain challenging stories of faith and its triumph in the midst of adversity. Thanks, Kathi Macias, for your boldness in sharing these true-to-life tales of believers facing persecution.

This is the third in the Extreme Devotion Series, books by Macias about Christians with overcoming faith in the face of persecution.
Zhen-Li is in prison because of her faith. She was raised to adhere to the part line but fell in love with a Christian and married him. When she was pregnant with her second child, she refused the ordered abortion. It happened anyway when her father had her kidnapped and the baby was forcibly aborted. Trained as a teacher, she spoke of Yesu with children. Now she was paying the price. Ten years of hard labor and Ã¢ÂÂreeducation.Ã¢ÂÂ
Tai Tong is a guard in the prison. He is a mean man and is determined to break Zhen-Li. He will make her deny her Yesu by beating her and then taking her for himself. He will stop at nothing, even killing her husband and son if that is what it takes. Will Zhen-Li have the strength to be faithful to her Savior?
Interspersed with Zhen-Li's story is that of Julia Crockett, in an assisted living home in California. She and her husband has made a mission trip to China and she had hoped to go back again. But her husband has been dead for twenty years. Yet she still felt the burden of China and prayed for the Christians there. Her prayer partner is her good friend Laura.
A new resident in the home is cranky Margaret. Julia tries to befriend her but Margaret is so full of hurt, Julia is put off.
Julia and Laura pray faithfully for China and frequently feel a burden for someone in immediate need of strength. It is at those times Zhen-Li is facing Tong's wrath. When the women meet Margaret's granddaughter, they know she needs prayer too. She is heading for danger with her rebellious lifestyle. Will she be rescued before she is sold into sex slavery?

This is a rewarding read. Macias kept my interest throughout the novel as the various stories are woven together. The story is based loosely on the life of Christian magazine editor Li Ying, currently serving a ten year sentence in China.
My only disappointment was the ending to Zhen-Li's story. Even though it appeared positive, the future is uncertain. Nonetheless, the novel helps the reader understand the situation for Christians in China.
