Brother Yun's experience of the revival of Christianity in China results in him having a highly critical view of the western church: that it spends too much time looking inward on unimportant details and too little time focused on evangelising unbelievers. As a biblicaly literate ex-believer, I find his core message and many of his criticisms to be very persuasive.

The style of writing is pretty unappealing. Overall this is a caring gentle polemic, delivered with serious overuse of formulaic vague religious platitudes. I expect that believers will be able to assign some specific meaning to phrases like "rivers of living water flowing from you", but not having any personal experience of that or being able to assign to it any concrete scientific meaning, it is hard to digest other than in terms of the general qualitative feelings he is seeking to convey.

Brother Yun is a Chinese preacher and evangelist. His book includes some of Yun's most inspirational and challenging teachings that he has shared with others over the past ten years. Throughout the book, he reflects on the persecution he has suffered as result of being a Chinese Christian and his experience of the revival sweeping China. Brother Yun has a very direct style and challenges us to critically examine our own faith and even the western church. He encourages us to adopt a radical faith and share Jesus love with others - whatever the cost to ourselves! (

NCLA Review - The author is “The Heavenly Man”, Chinese evangelist, Brother Yun , who endured imprisonment and torture in China for his faith. His ministry in China resulted in thousands of new, vibrant Christians. He believes God allowed him to leave China to help the sleeping Western church wake up. His message for Christians in the Western world is not more and more Bible teaching, but obedience. He challenges us to be filled with the Holy Spirit by falling on our knees and asking God to overflow us with His real and vibrant presence so that we become not just believers, but disciples, and so that we obey Jesus ’ command to go into all the world and make disciples.
