BROTHER YUN

My wife and I were fortunate to meet the Heavenly man - Brother Yun [pronounced "un"] during his South-African tour in 2005. Many thanks to people like Mandi from the Back to Jerusalem Foundation [BTJ] who made this tour possible.May our Lord Jesus Christ Bless you abundantly!

I will never forget the first time we met, I was speaking in English and Brother Yun in Chinese. There we were, both of us speaking in different languages. Despite this, we were but having a conversation. We were chatting away uninterruptedly in our mother tongue not minding the fact that neither were able to speak the other language. Wow! It didn't seem if he under-stood English, I knew I didn't understood Chinese - nevertheless, we had a conversation followed by a prayer without any discomfort. How is this possible? There was intimacy, unity and a feeling of wholeness - which was only possible by and through the Holy Spirit. I could also feel the presence of the Holy Spirit whilst talking to Yun. This was indeed a great experience and a conformation that those who have the same Spirit of Christ are brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of their background!

Revelation 5:9 (KJV)
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation"

With regards to Yun, he has a heart for Christ his Savior! He's very humble and worldly wealth doesn't impress him. All that matters is to share what Christ has done for all of us, preaching the Gospel!
And about brother Yun's book, testimony, it reflects the love for Christ a testimony of an agape love that changes your heart, and the power of the Gospel, the Good News. And as the Word of God says:

Revelation 12:11
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death"

…for this verse says everything about Yun's life.

• About the Book "The Heavenly Man"
  "I have been really blessed and encouraged by the feedback of Christians from all parts of the world - from India to Iceland, Argentina to Zimbabwe - who have written to say how the book challenged and inspired them to a deeper walk with the Lord" ~ Paul Hattaway Author
  
  "In 2001 I wrote a book called The Heavenly Man. It is the testimony of Chinese Christian Brother Yun. To gather background information and verify the testimonies included in the book I interviewed many people in China who were eyewitnesses to the events, as well as spending a few weeks with Brother Yun going over his story"

According to Paul Hattaway (the author of the Heavenly Man) hundreds of thousands of books have been distributed, in almost twenty different languages. According to Hathaway it was voted 'Christian Book of the Year' for 2003, and 'Best Biography' in 2004 i the United Kingdom.

Other Testimonies with regards to his book ~ ... The heavenly Man

Even some well-known Christian leaders have been blessed by the book. Reinhard Bonnke, the German evangelist wrote,

"You may begin reading the book 'The Heavenly Man' on your couch, but you will finish it on your knees. This is what happened to me. Anyone reading these pages will not remain the same. Brother Yun's testimony wakes and shakes us up. This is the message: In the fiercest persecution God's people, filled with the Holy Spirit, are invincible! They out live and out die the enemies of God and fill the world with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are condemned to Victory! This is not only true for China, but also for the rest of the world."

On the Amazon.com website many readers have expressed their thankfulness to God, such as...

• Mages of Malaysia, who wrote:
  "This book is a gift from God to us in this end times. It will make you realize how unworthy you are in your own faith with the Lord. No words are good enough for this book and the faith that was shown by Brother Yun was beyond comprehension. You just have to read it because if you don't, you've just missed a gift from God. God Bless you and may He speak to you the way He has to me through this wonderful book."
• Andrew of Columbus, Ohio:
  "From the very first chapter, I was blown away! Next to the Bible, it has been the most convicting and moving book I've ever read. I realize more how good it is to know Jesus and how sovereign He is over the world and in our lives. The book's convicted me to desire to live a more sacrificial life for God, given me more of a heart for the nations and scripture, and renewed in me my sense of need for God's Spirit and presence. I highly recommend this book."
• Leonardo, from Cebu in the Philippines:
  "I wish I could give this book six or seven stars. There are a few truly rare books out there that can genuinely change your life for the better: this is definitely one of those books... It's a modern-day classic that will, perhaps, challenge your faith and your life as no other book you may ever read... This is what genuine... heart CHRISTianity is all about. The book is a rare treasure. Don't miss it, OR the Message."
  
• And Lawrence of Akron, Ohio:
  "I read this book when I was on a mission trip to Africa and despite my busy schedule I was able to read the 400+ page book in 48 hours. This is the best book I have ever read. I sat in the middle of Africa reading this book, and it left me grateful for everything. I finished with the strongest desire to see the Kingdom of God come no matter what the cost. The story and life of Brother Yun created an unquenchable desire to go to China... I will be there in June one year after reading the book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone. The most skeptical of people will be left amazed by Brother Yun's life and sacrifice for The Kingdom of God!"

These brief testimonies are a small sample of how thousands of people have felt, and for that we are grateful to the Lord. May He be glorified!
