Synopsis

The dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders.
This is 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 the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus. Interspersed with his personal account are contributions from his wife, Deling, made mostly during her husband's frequent periods of imprisonment. You will remember where you were the first time you read this life story. It's a watershed book that will turn the reader to prayer and praise. It deserves comparison with past classics such as Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand, or the Life of Watchman Nee.

About the Author:

Brother Yun travels widely from his current base in Germany.

From AudioFile:

The world can do nothing to a Christian who has no fear of man, Brother Yun says as he tells the world about his trials as a leader in the Chinese house church movement. Brother Yun's testimony is read in a modest yet firm voice by Cristofer Jean. While soft-spoken, Jean conveys all the passion and pain in Yun's life as he hid from Chinese authorities or languished in prison, at times facing torture. Jeany Park reads his wife's accounts with similar grace, and Grover Gardner delivers the introduction with authority. Yun's determination to find God's message through his suffering brings a rare force to his message. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
