Publisher's summary

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

Encouragement to follow Christ, no matter the cost

I'm honored to be able to refer to Brother Yun as a brother in Christ. Our Lord certainly has blessed him with much faith to carry the Gospel near and far. I only wish the book was longer so many more could be encouraged even further to follow Christ, no matter the cost.

Must Listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For a follower in the west we must read and listen to books like this to understand the suffering other believers live with every day. It is very humbling.

Very powerful book!

This book will challenge your faith, challenge your desire to know our Lord and to walk by faith and to trust him moment by moment! Brother Yun is so vulnerable and so is his wife. It's beautiful seeing both perspectives of what happened in their lives.

Needs to be recommended more

This book has absolutely rocked me. We are so often misunderstanding what “blessing” really looks like. In the west, we always insert our own blessing, our own gifts from the Lord, and this book has really convicted me of what I consider blessing.

What a servant of the Lord!

A Must Read!

I loved this book!! I think every Christian should read Heavenly Man, especially American Christians. What Brother Yun and his family endured for the sake of the Gospel is both horrific and amazing. Starting in chapter 25, he gives a comparison of living for Jesus Brother Yun's way versus a Christian in America. I can only pray I would have a fraction of his boldness and humilty.

God’s Deserving & Worthy Of Our Whole Self

The LORD is near and we can live as people of impact, if we would simply learn to listen and say “Yes” to Jesus regardless of the cost. Brother Yun’s life exemplifies what is means to be carried along by the Holy Spirit. This is a very challenging read and it excites me to more fully embrace my relationship with Jesus and His lordship.

no matter what Jesus is always with us

I was convicted in many ways on my walk with Jesus. too much for words to express accept that I have a lot of surrendering to do and dying to self.
