Bamboo Swaying in the Wind reveals the extraordinary life story of Chinese Jesuit George Bernard Wong, who was imprisoned in China for more than twenty-five years for his religious beliefs. Through the story of his remarkable life and enduring faith, Wong offers readers spiritual and human insights that can only come from one who has lived such a life. Much of Wong's story remained blocked from his memory until recent, gentle talks with coauthor Claudia Devaux drew it out. Set in a broader cultural context, the narrative allows readers to appreciate this unique personal account of how one man bridged East and West to live out his Jesuit vocation and serve Chinese Christians in our time.
