With this book, Ole Kirchheiner makes a significant contribution to the limited body of research available about the church in Nepal--and tells one of the most fascinating stories of modern mission history. Working from the case study of Asha Church, a rural church at the center of the country whose congregants have begun moving into the urban areas, he offers an intriguing look at how recent converts have become genuine followers of Christ while retaining their Nepali identity. This work deserves a wide readership and will hopefully stimulate further research on the important questions raised.
