Meet Gladys! She's not a red dragon, like the ones in China, but "old gravy gray-green, a color that's kinda' like lima beans plooped fresh right out of a can, Swimming shiny and cool on your plate or your hand." But Gladys has a problem. She won't go to sleep! "I do not like bedtime! Not even an ounce! I will not set claw on my bed but to bounce!" Join Gladys and her patient parents as they wrangle over the dragon bedtime routine . . . and maybe learn a trick or two yourself along the way.

A solitary woman. A foreign country. An unknown language. An impossible dream? No! With no mission board to support or guide her, and less than ten dollars in her pocket, Gladys Aylward left her home in England to answer God's call to take the message of the gospel to China. With the Sino-Japanese War waging around her, she struggled to bring the basics of life and the fullness of God to orphaned children. Time after time, God triumphed over impossible situations, and drew people to Himself. In Gladys Aylward: My Missionary Life in China, Gladys tells her story—a remarkable tale of one woman's determination to serve God at any cost. A true story of a determined missionary, Gladys Aylward: My Missionary Life in China will challenge you to bold and expectant faith.
