Prepare yourself for the gripping story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan Province and placed him on the front line for Jesus, in the face of impossible odds. Instead of focusing on his experiences of suffering, Brother Yun turns his gaze to the character and beauty of Christ. Interspersed with his personal account are insights from the perspective of his wife, Deling, made mostly during her husband's frequent periods of imprisonment.

This dramatic autobiography of one of China's courageous and intensely persecuted house church leaders is a watershed book that will turn your own heart to prayer and praise. The Heavenly Man deserves comparison with past classics such as by Richard Wurmbrand or Watchman Nee's The Normal Christian Life.

Brother Yun is a Bible teacher who, despite personal danger, boldly continues to spread the gospel message around the world.
