From Homeland to Heartland: A Long Journey to Believe in God
From Homeland to Heartland: A Long Journey to Believe in God by Ying Li is a deeply moving memoir chronicling the author's transformative 40-year journey from atheism in China to embracing Christianity in the United States. Through poignant encounters and personal struggles, Ying Li shares the pivotal moments and relationships that guided her toward faith.
The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Ying Li recounts her early life in China, where religion was largely absent, and her understanding of God was minimal. Her journey takes her through Hong Kong, Singapore, and Canada, where she meets Christians whose faith and kindness leave a lasting impression. These encounters, along with her personal challenges and triumphs, gradually lead her to a profound spiritual awakening.
In the second part, she reflects on life as a Christian expatriate, exploring how faith shapes her daily experiences. She shares stories of friendship, community, and the acts of kindness that deepened her belief in God.
From Homeland to Heartland is both a testament to the power of human connection and a story of resilience, hope, and spiritual transformation. Ying Li’s journey reminds us that faith unfolds gradually—a process of learning to trust, to hope, and ultimately, to believe.
