Rating: Summary: You've got to read this book Review: This is an incredible book about an incredible man and his family. It will shake you to your core and it certainly challenged me ot the fact that I play at being a christian - no more!!
Rating: Summary: Heart Stirred and Heart Changed Review: This is book about what God did in and through the life of a man named Brother Yun. The story, no matter whether you are a Christian or not, is absolutely captivating. Your heart will be lifted in joy and crushed in agony as you read this man's life. He spent years in prison being tortured and many more on the run trying to escape from a governemnt that would not allow religious freedom. Always, though, God works profoundly through him.
Rating: Summary: Grace under Persecution Review: We lightly speak of our own 'cross' or of 'persecution', but those of us in America have no idea what other believers are going through.Brother Yun has experienced unbelievable persecution, including torture and imprisonment. He has also experienced unbelievable grace and miracles. And in a paradox that continues to confound, he describes how the true church actually flourishes amidst persecution. Be warned -- it is hard to read. Not in the sense of literary difficulty (the language is easy), but it will cause you to search your own soul. You cannot read this without questioning your own commitment level. Yet at the same time, one is tempted to read quickly, at breakneck pace, just to follow the adventure, and see how it all turns out. It's an adventure story -- truly a 'page-turner'. Be inspired by one who made the choice to follow Christ even if it cost everything.
