Brother Yun's testamony is so incredible, inspiring, heartbreaking and convicting. I bought this book for myself after being recommended it, but after reading it I went back and bought more for gifts. Definitely a must read.

A must read for Christians
This is not a book that you can read once and forget. It changes the way you understand the church in China. It tells the incredible true story of Brother Yun and the persecuted church in China - how God worked to grow a church that barely even had a bible, how the underground church chose to have integrity in their faith and the way it shaped their church. Also, how brother Yun himself went through times of persecution and experienced God in incredible ways. The events in this book leave you wondering if they're true, they're so crazy. . . only God can do these things! My friends and family who have read this book haven't just read it once.

Powerful autobiography!
This is the best Christian autobiography I have ever read. I cried, I praised God and I was so challenged as I questioned whether I would be willing to suffer and persevere for the gospel as Christians in China have for so many years.

If God is for you, who can be against you?
This book will keep you humbled by the challenges that persecution brings and at the same time, in awe of the amazing hand of God through miracles and intervention. No problem is too small or too big for God, and He is truly in control of all circumstance. Journey through the pages of this book and you too, will find your hope renewed.

Great autobiography
""""The Heavenly Man"""" is an autobiography of Brother Yun. In this book his shares his life story, about being a Christian in China and the hardship and persecutions he has faced. Living in Australia, we are free to practice Christianity; we often forget that in some countries like China, people are persecuted for believing in God. In this book, Brother Yun gives us an insight on what life is like for many Christians living in China. This book was awarded Christian book of the year in 2003 and it absolutely deserves the award.
