Do You like book Chasing The Dragon: One Woman's Struggle Against The Darkness Of Hong Kong's Drug Den (2003)?
Not only is this book a biography of a remarkable and courageous young woman, but it gives a great portrait of the drug culture in Hong Kong's Walled City, as well as an excellent treatise of why tongues is still a vital spiritual gift to be exercised today.I first read it at a Crossroads Discipleship Training School in Youth With A Mission. I have since recommended it to several others.Want to see if you have what it takes to be an inner city missionary in another country? Want to know one way to effectively deal with addictions? This is the book for you! See how Miss Pullinger left her home and everything she knew to answer God's call on her life. See how praying in tongues opened unexpected doors for ministry and empowered this untrained missionary to effectively share Christ with some of the most frightening and miserable souls on the planet! Read of the many lives that were transformed because of the courage and child-like faith of this young lady. Find out whether God might be calling you to take a similar step of faith.

Chasing the Dragon is one of my favorite internship books. Pullinger's autobiography of her ministry in Hong Kong's walled city of Kowloon inspires, challenges, and captivates. As a white Westerner headed to a Southeast Asian slum in a few months, re-reading CTD gave me fresh hope and renewed gratefulness for God's call in my life.CTD is one of those generally-not-recommended styles of missionary work: Pullinger goes by herself, without a sending org, and sets up shop ministering cross-gender; she has very little boundaries or rhythms of self care. That said, AMAZING works of the Holy Spirit happen in part because Pullinger was obedient and tenacious in her response to God's call in her life. I truly wish we saw more works for the Spirit in the U.S. today, if simply for the fact that God could do those miraculous works here if only we'd let Him.

Amazing book about a British woman who refused to let religion and the evils of the world stop her evangelism of the love of Jesus. Called to one of the darkest places in the world, Hong Kong's notorious Walled City, Ms Pullinger relays her experiences with The Lord and His Holy Spirit as they relentlessly pursue the hearts and minds of God's precious people trapped in drug addiction, prostitution, and gang violence. Reading this book will stir up your faith like never before AND convict the religious person's position on tongues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Highly recommended!
