This is an automatically translated description

The Kingdom of Heaven, or simply Paradise, is a place where every believer aspires to go and which atheists secretly dream of. The keys to this kingdom cannot be bought, stolen or forged, but can be obtained by anyone who fights cruelty, injustice and evil. Francis Chisholm, the protagonist of Archibald Cronin's novel The Keys of the Kingdom, is a devoted and humble priest.

His individuality and spontaneity are not to the liking of most clergy. To get rid of his “awkward” personality, Father Francis is sent to China. His missionary work did not stop for 30 years, despite civil war, poverty, illness and hostile attitudes of the leadership.

“Keys of the Kingdom” — is a wonderful story about faith and religion, about an extraordinary spiritual person who is trying to do good in an imperfect world.

Archibald Cronin is a Scottish writer known for his novels The Citadel and The Keys of the Kingdom, which were both filmed and nominated for an Academy Award.
