“Beyond The Heavenly Kingdom” is a book that teachers could use as a supplement in a Human services course about diversity or a World Cultures course. Li Bo has written a story that shows education is highly thought of.  During the story the characters were starting a school to help other Chinese to acculturate into various societies. Another issue that Li Bo brings the reader to think about is ‘What does it mean to be a Christian no matter were you live or what denomination you happen to be at a given place or time. This is a novel that will make you think of theirs and how you could help in tour neighborhoods and cities. Steven Leibo is a writer that uses description in a good way to paint the various scenes of the book to let the reader feel a part of what the characters are living.
