Incredable

This man has a very crazy testimony and everyone should read it. From being beaten and imprisoned for Jesus to being miraculously healed and escaping prison! I read the whole book in 2 days and cried my eyes out the whole time. Be encouraged to give it all for Jesus!

a chinese book of acts

Most amazing how the lord enables us to endure murderous, barbarous acts against our faith, freely expressed, in that Christ/Redeemer person, Jesus. Fervently sought, the young man sought and obtained a bible, impossible in China, unless you get the approved comunist version-christ the man only. He recounts where the Lord leads him then and now, living the faith-walk lifestyle. I was led to listen right through, daily, while-driving. it's well done, well presented, well read. I thank God for his people, like brother Yun, who keep the faith, unwavering. The unseen things, bringing to nought the things that are seen as the Bible says. At one point God healed his legs and enabled him to invisibly walk out of a maximum security prison, after the guards had thoroughly broken both his legs, thoroughly. His witness of God's love has also inspired major faith movements accross modern china, underground churches forming secretly in countless homes everywhere, regardless of facing three year terms in prison if caught. and people peacefully enduring several such egregious trespasses against religious freedom. He consistently, beautifully expresses his love of God, it's quite a blessing to hear. Truly, how do you walk on broken legs if not, purely, in faith and by God?

What A Story!

Almost unbelievable - except for the fact that he knows the Living God for which nothing is impossible. Great story. Could hardly put it down.

How He ruthlessly perfects whom He royally elects...

The German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke wrote: "You may begin reading the book 'The Heavenly Man' on your couch, but you will finish it on your knees. This is what happened to me. Anyone reading these pages will not remain the same. Brother Yun's testimony wakes and shakes us up. This is the message: In the fiercest persecution God's people, filled with the Holy Spirit, are invincible! They out live and out die the enemies of God and fill the world with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are condemned to Victory! This is not only true for China, but also for the rest of the world." There are few books in one's life that can make a dramatic, long lasting impact. The Heavenly Man will not only challenge the reader, it will leave the reader in utter awe of the indescribable emotional, uplifting, and true tale told through this man. Yun has been through the fires of persecution that few people on earth could even imagine. Through the love of Christ, he has not only overcome the forces of the world, but has become a beacon of light that testifies to God's grace reaching every corner of the earth! His life and testimony is an example of the exemplary life every every Christian should strive for. Next to the Bible I know of no other book that has impacted me more. Paul Hattaway captivates the story of Yun's testimony with precision like accuracy. Having a mastery of the English language, Paul weaves the story together from several different people. The story is recaptured in fastidious detail on every page of the book from start to finish. He has personally investigated the claims of Yun's testimony prior to publishing this book. In addition to being a writer, Hattaway is the international director of Asia Harvest, an organization committed to serving the church throughout Asia. After Yun's book was published, many skeptics have attacked Yun's testimony but they have all been groundless. A website has been setup where Hattaway recounts the numerous interviews he conducted with locals Christians in China that testify to the veracity of Yun's story. The simple fact cannot be overstated, the testimony in this book is an absolute must read for the believer as well as the skeptic. Don't tarry to pick up your copy and devour this book as quickly as possible.

A must for Christians

I cannot explain how powerful this book is. I wasn't expecting anything, I bought it as an afterthought and just thumbed through the beginning. A few pages in, I couldn't put it down...seriously. I've passed it along to other believers, one woman read it and then re-read it in a week. Hands down, the most inspirational testimony I've read in twenty years.

Life Changing Book!

If you want to have your personal faith challenged to go deeper, to step out and to be the salt and light to the world around us... and if you don't mind shedding many tears in the process... than read this book. It honestly changed my life.
