Book Review: The Heavenly Man

I just finished reading a great book called 'The Heavenly Man'. It chronicles the life of Liu Zhenying, known as Brother Yun, who is a Chinese Christian. Brother Yun was put in prison multiple times and brutally tortured for his faith and love in Jesus Christ. He also experience many miracles while in prison, including an incredible escape. Brother Yun talks about how the Chinese church grew under persecution and how his time in prison helped him grow closer to God. It was amazing to read how God works through those that surrender themselves to Him completely. It also made me realize how much we take our freedoms for granted and how our freedoms sometimes can lead us away from God instead of to Him. Brother Yun's story is inspiring, challenging, and definitely worth the time to read.
