Stan was a young man searching for love and significance, but when he gave his soul to Satan in exchange for making him rich and successful, he could not know the depths of degradation and darkness that would follow. A successful young businessman from a Christian home in Holland, Stan led a double life, going deeper into his sinful lifestyle, drinking and frequenting prostitutes. The control of the dark spirits over his life led him deeper into bondage until he began living as a male prostitute himself. But then God spoke directly to him saying, If you do not come back now, you will never come back. Stan surrendered and was radically saved by Christ's sacrifice on the cross. A new man, he was filled with the Holy Spirit and began telling everyone what God had done in his life. Read the vulnerable, gripping, and unforgettable testimony of a man who went from darkness to light and how God led him step-by-step into service for Christ. This book is more than a mere collection of stories. It is a powerful testimony that deserves to be read and shared with others. It delves into the depths of the human experience, inviting us to embrace our vulnerabilities and discover the transformative power of the enduring love of Christ. -Dr. Teresa Conlon, president, Summit International School of Ministry, the Bible School of Times Square Church, New York City

This ambitious work traces a social history of semicolonialism in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century China. It takes as its central concern the intertwining of two antagonistic forces: elite constructions of modernity shaped globally, and an alternate line of peasant resistance and development. Nantong county and the northern portion of the commercially advanced Yangzi Delta form its focal points. Lying in the hinterland of and connected in myriad ways with the treaty port of Shanghai, which in the late nineteenth century became the center of imperialist activity in China, the northern delta is an ideal locale for examining how the acquisition, transmission, and contestation of power may have changed during the extended moment of semicolonial encounter. The author's specific project is to unravel the multiple strands of the semicolonial process and thereby the dominant and alternative histories it embodied. In emphasizing semicolonialism as a structural context shaping events, the book opens up a pivotal but silent area in the history of modern China. In confronting the development of capitalism as a historical phenomenon and suggesting that its consequences for land and labor on a global scale need greater theoretical and historical scrutiny, the book forces a new understanding of China's modernity. The book is in two parts. The first delineates key long-term dynamics in the political, economic, and social history of the area from the late Ming dynasty to the Opium Wars. The second part begins with an examination of the rise of modernist urban power in the context of accelerating growth in the textile and cotton trades, focusing on such topics as economic restructuring under Shanghai's impetus, new forms of economic and political organization, and contention as well as cooperation within the urban elite. Turning to the countryside, the book then examines the regearing of the rural economy to the needs of urban capital, local and global; outlines the emergence of modern landlordism and other rural "capitalisms"; analyzes class formation in the peasantry associated with changes in labor organization, tenurial arrangements, and the gendered division of labor; and traces the coalescence of a distinctive political discourse through which peasants contested certain development schemes and advanced alternative conceptions of community and nation.

- Uh Il Drago Le due bambine, che s'erano messe a giocare presso il muricciolo del ponticello dove la zia le aveva appostate per chiedere l'elemosina ai passanti, alla vista del vecchio che arrivava a cavallo all'asino, s'erano subito rimesse a sedere, la maggiore sul muricciolo, la minore per terra; e ripetevano insieme sottovoce: - Uh Il Drago Il Drago Don Paolo Drago - drago di nome e di fatto, diceva la gente - arrivato davanti a loro, si era fermato, trattenendo l'asino con una leggera tirata della cavezza.- Che fate qui? - le sgrid ; - tornate a casa, e dite a quella strega di vostra zia: Don Paolo non vuole che domandiamo l'elemosina Tornate a casa.E vedendo che le bambine non si movevano, fece una specie di grugnito minaccioso che le impaur .Infatti quella mattina finsero d'andare via zitte zitte, e allo svolto dello stradone si fermarono, aspettando che Don Paolo si fosse allontanato; poi, saltellanti, tornarono al loro posto, la maggiore sul muricciolo, la minore per terra: questa spettinata, scalza, con la camicia a brandelli; l'altra, scalza anche lei, ma un po' pi ravviata, col fazzoletto azzurro di cotone, a palline bianche, avvolto attorno alla testa.Il Drago, come ordinariamente lo chiamavano, abitava di faccia a loro; e la sera, al ritorno dalla campagna, trovatele davanti all'uscio di casa, domand alla maggiore, col tono burbero che gli era abituale: - Dov' quella strega di tua zia? ...
