Brother Yun's The Heavenly Man is a remarkable testimony of his life as a Christian evangelist in the People's Republic of China from the time of his personal commitment to Christ at the age of 16 (1974) through to his remarkable escape and reunion with his family in Germany in 2001. Along the way we witness the wonderful "religious freedom" of Communist China and tender mercies of atheistic Communism towards uncompromising believers in Jesus Christ. Truly the persecuted Church of China has been watered by the seeds of its martyrs (yet revival continues in China while foolish Western Christians rush headlong into secular socialism like lambs to the slaughter). Brother Yun's book is a remarkable series of adventures in the Holy Spirit. Sometimes mind-boggling, often suspenseful, and frequently heart-wrenching, The Heavenly Man is just the kind of book smug, self-reliant Western Christians need to read to consider their own ways. What I like about this book is that despite the truly remarkable miracle testimonies recorded here, Yun also includes a great amount of introspection and soul-searching over his own ministry failures, missteps and stubborn self-will. The Chinese Church is not perfect nor are its leaders. Brother Yun is not afraid to acknowledge the mistakes in his own life. Paul Hattaway, the co-author and an expert on the Chinese Church, has done a remarkable job meticulously verifying the sometimes unbelievable aspects of Brother Yun's story. And while many of the testimonies seem too fantastic to believe, I found his life to be no more fantastic than the lives of the Bible saints all Christians are supposed to accept at face value. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And Jesus said we would do "greater works than these" (His own) so why are the miracles in this book so hard for some to accept? As a Pentecostal/Full-Gospel believer with much experience in overseas evangelism, I found the wonderful miracles of Brother Yun's life to be what you would expect from a body of believers who have had to rely entirely on God's provision in the face of relentless poverty and persecution (something Western Christians can barely imagine). And Yun's most radical miracle testimony, the 74-day fast that strengthened his Christian resolve in China's most notorious prison, which many argue is medically impossible, is actually no more radical than what I have read in various survival and prisoner of war books. Except that Yun fasted in the power of the Holy Spirit! A Chinese writer living in Germany and a Chinese House leader from another group outside Yun's own network have been among his most vocal critics -- despite the overwhelming testimonies of hundreds of others who have known Yun for decades. That kind of slanderous criticism only helps me realize that even among the "saintly martyrs" of the persecuted church there will always be those who say "I am of Paul" or "I am of Apollos." Fine. But don't let the rantings of a few self-appointed online critics keep you from reading this stirring, well-written book. Brother Yun's current venture in support of the Back to Jerusalem campaign is particularly exciting as my research suggests this idea arose simultaneously in the hearts of many Christians throughout the global church, a miracle that could only be attributed to the work of the Holy Spirit. This book is one of the best I have read all year and is highly recommended.

The Heavenly Man The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun Brother Yun Paul Hattaway 9780825462078 Books Reviews

I read this book in about 1 week. Then I gave it away, bought another, gave that one away, lent my Dad's copy out, and bought this one to read again later... or give away again.
This book will humble you and make you realize what you complain about is weak sauce. I am humbled and challenged every time I am reminded of an aspect of Brother Yun's story. This book pushes me to a place of prayer for the underground church, study of God's word, and gratitude.
I love this book. It's such a good glimpse into the lives of Christians in China during the 50s and the horrible persecution they faced. As an autobiography, the book includes most of Yun's life, but focuses primarily on his experiences as a Christian--ranging from pastoring house churches, speaking, teaching, burnout, being beaten, running from authorities, his experiences in jail and having a family. You get a graphic picture of what Jesus means when He says, "Take up your cross and follow Me." While none of us may go through the exact trials and pressures Brother Yun and those with him faced (even in China, things haven gotten somewhat better), experiencing his testimony can inspire us in the States (and elsewhere) to live with the freedom and boldness Jesus calls us to.

Another book that goes good with this is These Are The Generations, a book written by a North Korean Christian family about their experiences of their family through three generations. It's similar to this book, but also very different. If Christianity in other countries is something you're interested in, definitely check this book out too. You can get from The Voice of The Martyrs website, a possibly here on as well.
This reads like a suspense novel. God is good and living His way is an adventure, but what this man went
through and how God showed up read like the Book of Acts ! Truly an encouragement, this sets a fire
under any type of complacency ! Also,to show us, we just need to make the first more and God is there !
I was privileged to see Brother Yun speak in person. This humble man, in broken English brought such an
anointing into the room, I fell to my knees and wept !
Every one should read this book. Also pray the US doesn't come to the point of one world religion !
The Heavenly Man was recommended to me by visitors to our church. This is a fantastic book chronicling the conversion and ministry of Brother Yun (Liu Zhenying) as an evangelist and leader in the Chinese underground church. Incredible story of faith and perseverance in the face of hardship and brutal torture at the hands of the Chinese Public Security Bureau in his resistance to joining the state approved church. This book is about authentic, unregistered Christianity, something we do not see much of in the United States as the the evangelical church has largely been nationalized and politicized, and incorporated into the state. A few quotes

"The true church is not an organization controlled by the rules of men but a holy collection of living stones with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone."

"We believe that Jesus is the head of the church, not the government."

This book will inspire like no other, save the Bible itself.
This is true Christianity in action the way God intended. Anyone living in a country with the freedom to choose religion has no idea what persecution means or how to live by true faith the way this man from China does! I was humbled and moved by the unshakable depth of Brother Yun's faith despite countless beatings, imprisonment, and even the discipline of His loving Father God! Yun lives the life of Paul, focused on obeying each and every word that God said in the scriptures as well as what He says now through His Holy Spirit. The Heavenly Man is a must-read for anyone who thinks they know how Jesus called us to live, and it will convict you if you allow it to challenge your thinking and way of life.
