"The Heavenly Man' book has now been translated, or is being translated, into more than 30 languages. It has continued to humble and amaze Brother Yun and those involved with the book just how much blessing and inspiration it has brought to countless Christians, as well as being the vehicle God uses to save many unbelievers. We have just received a report from a missionary living in predominantly-Buddhist Cambodia, in Southeast Asia. He explains that a Christian, imprisoned for crimes committed before he came to the Lord, maximized his time by translating spiritual books into Khmer, the national language of Cambodia. One of those he translated was 'The Heavenly Man,' The missionary wrote, "His recent translation of 'The Heavenly Man' brought about a great revival in the prison. The inmates were touched by the book. Some of them said, 'Before we believed because we wanted to get blessings from God, but now we follow Jesus wholeheartedly and are ready to suffer for his sake.' What a wonderful testimony this is! I believe the book will bring a great revival in Cambodia."

 

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.  It's a story from a Chinese Christian man wanting to recount to the West the remarkable work of the Holy Spirit in his life during the Eighties at the birth of the House Church movement in China.

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. 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. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the character and beauty of Jesus.


This astonishing book will form a watershed in your spiritual life.
