What an inspiration to read about a man in our own generation who was totally sold out to Jesus! Miracles He preached the gospel of Christ passionately at every occasion, even in prison. He meditated on God’s Word to the point that he knew it intimately and could quote it freely.
The cost Brother Yun paid for wholeheartedly following Jesus was almost more than I could bear to read at times! But he prayed. I was amazed at the persecution he endured and his resolve to never deny his faith. Brother Yunīrother Yun, the “Heavenly Man,” was an uneducated man from a poor village in Henan Province who became a leader in China’s house church movement.
Just the same, I found it moving and inspirational, much like reading a twentieth-century extension to the Acts of the Apostles. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.The Heavenly Man, recommended to me by a missionary friend, is foreign to my personal experience and stretched my theology at times. This astonishing book will form a watershed in your spiritual life Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the character and beauty of Jesus. 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. 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. An absolute must for the sleeping churches of the West." 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. Prepare to be deeply encouraged as well as rudely awakened. This book is like reading a modern-day version of the Book of Acts. An inspirational and heroic story of a radical Christian in the house churches of China.
