Synopsis
"An inspirational and heroic story of
a radical Christian in the house churches of China. This book is like reading a
modern-day version of the Book of Acts. Prepare to be deeply encouraged as well
as rudely awakened. An absolute must for the sleeping churches of the West."
- Rev. Dr MARK STIBBE, author of Thinking Clearly about Revival
The Heavenly Man is the intensely dramatic story of how God took a young,
half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan Province and used him mightily to
preach the gospel despite horrific opposition.
Brother Yun is one of China's house church leaders, a man who despite his
relative youth has suffered prolonged torture and imprisonment for his faith.
His account challenges any complacency about the situation in China, where
international economic investment ignores the brutal fact that religious
persecution is still a daily reality for millions. Instead of focusing on the
many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the
character and beauty of Jesus.
This astonishing book will form a watershed in your spiritual life,
"The story of Brother Yun's persecution and imprisonment is heartrending. It's a
profound challenge to each of us to take up the cross and follow Jesus. I found
it deeply moving." - Rev. Dr ROB FROST, evangelist and broadcaster*
Brother Yun travels widely from his current base in Germany. Paul Hattaway, an
expert on the Chinese church, is author of Operation China and currently lives
in Thailand.
