  To a lively cast of international players that shaped Manchuria during the early twentieth century, At the Frontier of God's Empire adds the remarkable story of Alfred Marie Caubrière (1876–1948). A French Catholic missionary, Caubrière arrived in Manchuria on the eve of the Boxer Uprising in 1899 and was murdered on the eve of the birth of the People's Republic of China in 1948. Living with ordinary Chinese people for half a century, Caubrière witnessed the collapse of the Qing empire, the warlord's chaos that followed, the rise and fall of Japanese Manchukuo, and the emergence of communist China. Caubrière's incredible personal archive, on which Ji Li draws extensively, opens a unique window into everyday interaction between Manchuria's grassroots society and international players. His gripping accounts personalize the Catholic Church's expansion in East Asia and the interplay of missions and empire in local society. 
   
   
   
  Through Caubrière's experience, At the Frontier of God's Empire examines Chinese people at social and cultural margins during this period. A wealth of primary sources and family letters illuminate vital issues in modern Chinese history, such as the transformation of local society, mass migration and religion, tensions between church and state, and the importance of cross-cultural exchanges in everyday life in Chinese Catholic communities.

  Dr. Lawrence Walters has devoted his career to. improving local governments. The vision he puts forward is not a distant view of a future Zion; rather, he lays out five foundational principles to guide the efforts of those who actively seek to establish Zion today. he explores how the role of the Church has evolved. Through scripture and professional insights, he outlines an approach for eliminating world poverty. Drawing on prophetic teachings, he identifies the inspired principles that will underpin governance in Zion and illustrates how engaged citizens will influence their communities. 
  Building Zion requires that we create and actively lead our communities and organizations to a higher and holier plane. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millenial Society identifies principles and provides guidance on their practical applications. It offers Latter-day Saints a richer, more constructive vision of Zion and what they can do to make it a reality.

  The beautiful friendship between a saint and a beast is how God wanted to remind people of the holiness they can reach through prayers and good deeds. 
  Saint Gerasimus and the Lion is in the Stories of Saints for Children series written especially for children who want to learn about the lives of saints. 
  Saint Gerasimus of the Jordan ( also spelled Gerasimos or Gerasim ) was a Christian saint, monk, and abbot of the 5th century AD. Gerasimus was born into a wealthy family in the province of Lycia, the southern part of Asia Minor, but he left his family's wealth and worldly affairs to become a monk. Saint Gerasimus went to Palestine and settled in the wilderness near the Jordan River. There he established a monastery. He is known for his righteous life of asceticism and prayer. The story of Gerasimus and the lion, when the saint tamed the animal by removing a thorn from its paw and taught it obedience, became widely known in the Christian world. His feast day is celebrated on 4 March by the Eastern Orthodox Church and on 5 March by the Roman Catholic Church.
