By Life And By Death: Excerpts And Lessons From The Diary Of John C. Stam is a book written by E. Schuyler English that chronicles the life and faith of John C. Stam, a missionary who was martyred in China in 1934. The book is based on Stam's personal diary, which he kept from the age of 13 until his death at the age of 27. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains excerpts from Stam's diary, which provide a glimpse into his daily life, his struggles, his joys, and his unwavering faith in God. The second part of the book consists of lessons that can be learned from Stam's life and faith, as well as reflections on his legacy.Throughout the book, readers are introduced to Stam's family, his upbringing, his education, and his decision to become a missionary. They also learn about his experiences in China, where he and his wife, Betty, faced persecution and ultimately gave their lives for their faith. By Life And By Death is a powerful testament to the strength of faith and the courage of those who are willing to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of persecution and death. It is a must-read for anyone interested in missionary work, Christian faith, or the history of Christianity in China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
