Book Review
Visions Beyond The Veil
by H A Baker
Reviewer: John Cavanagh
H A Baker is the grandfather of missionary Roland Baker (who works with his wife Heidi in Mozambique). Roland writes the foreword to this little book.
Baker worked in the Chinese town of Kunming in the province of Yunan, where he established the Adullam Rescue Mission prior to World War Two. It was the home to children, mostly boys ranging in age from six to eighteen, who had been beggars on the street or orphans brought to the home following the death of their parents, and it was a work amongst the poorest of the poor. The author describes them as uneducated and undisciplined. This book is their story and it tells about how they received remarkable visions and extraordinary revelations from God.
Baker spends some time laying the biblical basis for these revelations before relating the coming of the Holy Spirit into their worship time. It tells about the strong conviction of sin that this brought and subsequent experiences of the presence of God as the Holy Spirit revealed Himself on different occasions and to different people in several ways. Visions of heaven and hell, angels and the kingdom of the devil are recorded and compared to scripture.
This is an amazing, if short, book. What is amazing is that the children had visions and experiences of God that were clearly biblical, yet before they had even read the Bible! I wanted it to go on when I came to the end of it. It is tremendously encouraging to read, and it stirs and awakens faith for God to touch our lives and it is easy to read – less than one hundred pages. The author is very careful to give glory to God and to weigh up everything by the Bible
