Impressions of China 1983, published by the Far Eastern Broadcasting Co.. Almost as new. 8.5 x 5.5." The artist grew up in China and was a Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution. He became disillusioned when he and his friends were betrayed by Mao Tse Tung, and he escaped by swimming to Hong Kong. It was there he remembered a broadcast he had heard when he was a boy of eleven. It spoke of the love of Jesus. He went to the office of the Far Eastern Broadcasting Co, in Hong Kong and became a Christian. At the time this calendar was published, he was working at FEBC's U.S. Headquarters in California. The sketches in this calendar were made during a visit to his homeland. He has sketched his impressions of landmarks, buildings, people, animals, and scenery in China. Click on image to enlarge it.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
