This book is taken from the writings of H. A. Baker, an American missionary to China. Prior to being in China, he served in Tibet from 1911 to 1919. Here he records the experiences of young children who were residents of the Adullam Rescue Mission in Yunnanfu, Yunnan Province, China.

Before describing what the children saw while under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the author establishes the Scriptural basis for such visions. He cites numerous incidents from the Bible that the sort of things the children saw "in the Spirit" were experienced by people in the Bible and that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

This book, as edited by Baker's associate, T. A. Lanes, is encouraging in pointing to the reality of what Christians can expect when God calls them home. The concluding chapter is solid in explaining that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and He is the ONLY WAY to heaven.

I thought I was buying a book from another author, Heidi Baker. So when I received this book, I was amazed! God totally put this book into my hands for a reason. This was the greatest mistake I have ever made!
This book opened my heart and spirit to the realities of the spiritual world, mainly Heaven and Hell. The children whom God speaks to and "Brings" to Heaven are completely transformed from street beggars and orphans to children wrapped in His loving arms and allowed to see what we only can imagine or dream of! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs their heart warmed back up to Jesus!

I read this book years ago and it literaly changed my way of thinking about things. Beautiful children are allowed to see the mysteries of Heaven and Hell. The accounts in this book will make the hair stand up on your head, they are so vivid and meaningful. This book will encourage you as a believer and should scare you if you are an unbeliever. Well worth the read.
Excellent!

If you want to get a good picture of what lies beyond our earthly realm this book has it. God poured out his Spirit on simple street beggar children and they tell of the visions and experiences he gave them. The book gives very detailed descriptions of Heaven and Hell; the Kingdom and God and the devil's Kingdom. The book can be read over and over because it will change your perspective on why we are alive today, and what's really going on behind the scenes.

I am happy to see that this wonderful book has been reprinted. I read this book many years ago and was so impressed with the detailed revelations of heaven and hell that I bought them by the case and gave them away as handouts. I have since read it over and over many times myself...

My wife and I found this book to be very exciting as it depicts how orphan children in China where provided with a home in an orphanage; how they were fed and clothes and taken care of. This - in and of itself - is a dynamic testimony of how Jesus Christ brings victory into the lives of these children. However, their experience of seeing visions and dreams of Heaven, of God, of Jesus and of angels is one to be envied. We strongly encourage you to read this book. You will not be able to put it down.

The information related in this book is timeless. I thought the authors did a pretty good job of recording what the children saw, balancing the visions with just the right touch of description of the children by the authors. Periodically, I reread this book. It is inspiring to get a pictorial idea of where my deceased loved are and what awaits me in heaven. The book is balanced by also expressing the reality of hell. Really good book.

H.A. Baker does a great job describing the events that occurred in the lives of these Chinese orphans. Their experiences agree with the Holy Bible and are genuine. Definitely worth the buy!

This book was a good introduction to "Always Enough". I'm glad I read this first. It was exciting to learn of the Holy Spirit anointed work among the Chinese orphans before the door closed to missionary efforts. People {children} matter to God!

I came across this little book by accident, not knowing what it was about. I thought it might chronicle Christ's work among Muslims, but quickly realized that the veil being pulled aside was that which separates the natural world from the heavenlies.

The introduction sets the reader up for what will follow. There are going to be visions unfolded, given to young students at a Chinese mission, which give profound understanding of what transpires in the heavenlies in parallel to what we experience on earth. We are going to see the faces and work of both angels and of demons

I thought the book started rather awkwardly. I stuck with it, but skipped around a bit. But midway the visions seemed to become more focused, understandable and pertinent. I became engrossed at the depictions of the fates of those who accept Christ and those who do not, of how the holy angels of various ranks conduct their warfare and how the demons, also of various ranks, do as well.

The book then ends with a very articulate, eloquent presentation of the Gospel. Maybe you think you've got that down, but I encourage you to read this, because the Gospel of grace is indeed in short supply these days. We are saved by grace, apart from works, and we also are kept by grace apart from works. We have no righteousness of ourselves - our works are filthy rags in God's sight - all we must do is believe that Christ has paid the price of our redemption.

This book cleared up some things for me, such as the disembodied state of the souls in heaven as they await the Resurrection, and drove home the very ugly reality of hell, and the precarious balancing-act nature of our walk with the Lord during this age.

For that, and for the wonderful, centering exposition of the Gospel of grace, I heartily recommend this book to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of Gospel realities.
