Amazing story and highly recommended for church libraries. (Church Libraries 2004-06-03) Brother Yun travels widely from his current base in Germany.
This is the gripping story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan province and placed him on the front line for Jesus, in the face of impossible odds. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus. Interspersed with his personal account are contributions from his wife, Deling, made mostly during her husband's frequent periods of imprisonment. You will remember where you were the first time you read this life story. It's a watershed book that will turn the reader to prayer and praise. It deserves comparison with past classics such as Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand, or the Life of Watchman Nee.
Amazing Glimpse into Our Family in China I love this book. It's such a good glimpse into the lives of Christians in China during the 50s and the horrible persecution they faced. As an autobiography, the book includes most of Yun's life, but focuses primarily on his experiences as a Christian--ranging from pastoring house churches, speaking, teaching, burnout, being beaten, running from authorities, his experiences in jail and having a family. You get a graphic picture of what Jesus means when He says, "Take up your cross and follow Me." While none of us may go through the exact trials and pressures Brother Yun and those with him faced (even in China, things haven gotten somewhat better), experiencing his testimony can inspire us in the States (and elsewhere) to live with the freedom and boldness Jesus calls us to.Another book that goes good with this is These Are The Generations, a book written by a North Korean Christian family about their experiences of their family through three generations. It's similar to this book, but also very different. If Christianity in other countries is something you're interested in, definitely check this book out too. You can get from The Voice of The Martyrs website, a possibly here on Amazon as well.great greatPowerful Personal Testimony of the Persecuted Church in China and the Ministry of Brother Yun Brother Yun's The Heavenly Man is a remarkable testimony of his life as a Christian evangelist in the People's Republic of China from the time of his personal commitment to Christ at the age of 16 (1974) through to his remarkable escape and reunion with his family in Germany in 2001. Along the way we witness the wonderful "religious freedom" of Communist China and tender mercies of atheistic Communism towards uncompromising believers in Jesus Christ. Truly the persecuted Church of China has been watered by the seeds of its martyrs (yet revival continues in China while foolish Western Christians rush headlong into secular socialism like lambs to the slaughter). Brother Yun's book is a remarkable series of adventures in the Holy Spirit. Sometimes mind-boggling, often suspenseful, and frequently heart-wrenching, The Heavenly Man is just the kind of book smug, self-reliant Western Christians need to read to consider their own ways. What I like about this book is that despite the truly remarkable miracle testimonies recorded here, Yun also includes a great amount of introspection and soul-searching over his own ministry failures, missteps and stubborn self-will. The Chinese Church is not perfect nor are its leaders. Brother Yun is not afraid to acknowledge the mistakes in his own life. Paul Hattaway, the co-author and an expert on the Chinese Church, has done a remarkable job meticulously verifying the sometimes unbelievable aspects of Brother Yun's story. And while many of the testimonies seem too fantastic to believe, I found his life to be no more fantastic than the lives of the Bible saints all Christians are supposed to accept at face value. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And Jesus said we would do "greater works than these" (His own) so why are the miracles in this book so hard for some to accept? As a Pentecostal/Full-Gospel believer with much experience in overseas evangelism, I found the wonderful miracles of Brother Yun's life to be what you would expect from a body of believers who have had to rely entirely on God's provision in the face of relentless poverty and persecution (something Western Christians can barely imagine). And Yun's most radical miracle testimony, the 74-day fast that strengthened his Christian resolve in China's most notorious prison, which many argue is medically impossible, is actually no more radical than what I have read in various survival and prisoner of war books. Except that Yun fasted in the power of the Holy Spirit! A Chinese writer living in Germany and a Chinese House leader from another group outside Yun's own network have been among his most vocal critics -- despite the overwhelming testimonies of hundreds of others who have known Yun for decades. That kind of slanderous criticism only helps me realize that even among the "saintly martyrs" of the persecuted church there will always be those who say "I am of Paul" or "I am of Apollos." Fine. But don't let the rantings of a few self-appointed online critics keep you from reading this stirring, well-written book. Brother Yun's current venture in support of the Back to Jerusalem campaign is particularly exciting as my research suggests this idea arose simultaneously in the hearts of many Christians throughout the global church, a miracle that could only be attributed to the work of the Holy Spirit. This book is one of the best I have read all year and is highly recommended.
