“Brother
Half Angel”
By
Martin Roth
“Brother
Half Angel” is the first in a series of international thrillers by Martin Roth.
These feature Brother Half Angel, the leader of
a secret new church military order dedicated to helping Christians under attack
around the world.
In this first book of the series he is dispatched
urgently to China, where an underground seminary is under siege from fanatical
sword-wielding members of a local cult who still pay homage to the bloodthirsty
extremists who tried to expel all foreigners from China in the nineteenth
century.

These Chinese
Christians are under enormous pressure to renounce their faith, and it is sad
to see many do so. Often it is after they have been beaten on the order of the
magistrate. They are then taken to the temple where they solemnly pledge to
leave the church and to stop meeting foreigners, and they receive a card to
wear, to prove that they have renounced their religion. They are then safe from
the marauding hordes. I can tell you that these actions cause us more pain that
all the attacks of the Boxers.
We try not to
talk of these things among ourselves, in order to keep our spirits up. But this
probably makes it worse, because we keep hearing all the rumors.
We have
sufficient supplies. We even have a couple of guns. And now we are arguing.
This is what it has come to. We are fighting among ourselves. Truly, the evil
men are outside the compound, but Satan is already within, sowing discord.
Some people say
it is wrong in any circumstances to use our guns. That we must have faith in
God for our protection. But others say we should use them now. Act first.
We have two
revolvers. Harold says we should use them right away - break out of the house,
shooting anyone who tries to stop us, then head for the mountains. But John
says we must wait. He says the revolvers are only for self-defense. And even
then he says he will only use them to save me or the children. He believes we
must accept God’s will in these matters.
But then Harold
argues that if we do not use our weapons right away the men outside will easily
overpower us. And then they might kill the men and children, but keep alive the
women, for their own evil purposes.
Sometimes I think
John is right, and sometimes I think Harold is right. But can you not
understand what is happening? Satan is destroying us from within. We are
becoming utterly confused.
We do not wish to
die, but that is what we now expect. We pray without ceasing that we shall be
spared and that God will allow us to meet you all again on this earth. We pray
that someone will come to rescue us. But if it is not to be, then we shall see
you in our beautiful Home where there is no more sorrow.
Ever yours
lovingly,
Martha Westloke
