This astonishing biography has sold more than 750,000 copies in English since 2002 and has been translated into over 30 languages.

This 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. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasise the character and beauty of Jesus. This astonishing book will form a watershed in your spiritual life.

Paul Hattaway is an expert on the Chinese church and author of THE HEAVENLY MAN, the story of Brother Yun; OPERATION CHINA, and many other books. Because his work is sensitive he avoids being photographed.

__The remarkable true story of renowned Chinese Christian Brother Yun.__

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 turns his gaze to and centers his story 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.  


  


This dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders is 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.

This is miraculous story of brother Yun under might hand of God. You will be amazed how he could escape from the evil’s hands and from their persecution and torture.

Amazing

Patricia  Glover

Amazing testimony. Very challenging. I found that I could only read a little at a time as it was so challenging considering the lack of persecution in this country we really have little conception of what our brothers and sisters are going through for the testimony of Christ

The Heavenly Man

Eden Customer

God's gracious working in Yun's family life is heart-warming; the good news spreading is thrilling (wish there were more details of this); the back-lash of the enemy is un-nerving, but the thrill of a triumphant sequel is encouraging. The hand of God is very evident, and a blessing to know.
