A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about a new book that is out called;  The Seven Sorrows of China, by Dr. Mark Miravalle. This book is an account of what he has seen and experienced in his travels to China. The one that was pointed out to me was Fetal Soup?? Have you heard of this? Apparently it has been a “rumor” for quite awhile. I was gladly ignorant until now…

Could it be true? And, if it is, WHY? How could humanity in ANY culture allow such a thing? How can sin be THAT rampant? I find it to be one of the most horrifying thoughts and things I can imagine. The saddest part is that these people need Jesus…desperately!

Please do not take this as a “hate China” post. This is a “WOW, I cannot believe the sin in this world” post. Unfortunately, China is the one doing it. We need to pray for these people, their souls, and the very morality of this world!

I am not a fan of the leadership of China, and I STRONGLY believe that they are an enemy to the United States. NOT the Chinese people as a whole…but the leadership. I think that even the RUMOR of this, should be enough for OUR government to THINK about WHO we are in bed with, if you know what I mean.

We are in bed with evil. We better wake up before they take more than just our wheat!

What are your thoughts? Have you heard of this APPALLING practice? I am shocked and could not even write about it for awhile until I was in a place where I was focused and not mean spirited.

Here is a review of the book:
