Eugene Bach is a pseudonym for a member of the Chinese underground church who, for security reasons, does not wish to be identified. He has been working with the underground church in China for more than twenty years, helping them to establish forward missions bases in closed countries around the world, including Iraq and Syria. He worked with Esther for several years in China, helping to supply her with Bibles and other needed materials for her ministry. Eugene leads projects with the Chinese missions movement Back to Jerusalem, which provides essential support for Chinese missionaries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and he has written books about the underground church in China, North Korea, and Iran. His other books with Whitaker House include Shackled, China and End-Time Prophecy; I Stand with Christ; ISIS: The Heart of Terror; Kidnapped by a Cult; Leaving Buddha; and The Underground Church. Esther, a pseudonym, grew up in a small town in northern China, caught between two cultures: rejected by the Chinese for being an ethnic minority, and rejected by fellow Chinese-Koreans for having a grandfather who was a staunch Christian. After her conversion, Esther tirelessly spread the gospel to North Koreans, as this book recounts. Because of concerns for their safety, Esther and her family have recently fled China, and now live outside the country.
