Mummy Thief

Mummy Thief uses a Japanese proverb as a metaphor for the major challenges in Olson's life. Readers can learn from the author's successes and failures as he confronted issues in his work. He tells how risk-taking brinkmanship enabled him to thrive in many ways with God's help, for example in: Building up the church in A-bombed Hiroshima Steering through delicate relations with nationals Uniting disparate church bodies to cooperate in evangelism Alerting Asian churches to the potentials and dangers of the mass media Fighting official church policy which opposed broadcasts to China Working to create bridges between mainline Christians, evangelicals and Catholics The book brings a strong message of faith and hope.
