"This is one of the best Christian books that I have ever read. Brother Yun is refreshingly sincere and a genuine Christian. I could not put this book down; it was so interesting that I would continue reading it well into the night. I would highly recommend this book. The day that I finished it I ordered 3 more copies from the bookstore to give as Christmas presents this year."

" I feel as I read this book I am changing on the inside me, spirtually. "
— Uncle, 2/14/2014 -
" It is no wonder that Western Christians would be attracted to stories like this, for we do not encounter the kind of persecution as occur in other parts of the world. Despite the impressive story in the book, there have been quite a bit of controversies surrounding the book, that some details were "faked." "

" What a roller coaster! This amazing man has a true life story to share replete with miracles and God's provision in both the good and the worst of circumstances. It is thick, but I guarantee you won't be able to put it down! "

" This is a powerful story of a Chinese Christian missionary. Every time I read it I find that my faith is renewed and I am astonished that people have trouble believing in the existence of a loving God. As a story/novel, it is also written very well. "

" Wonderful story. Highly recommend this book to Christians and non-Christians alike. "

" Yun is basically a modern-day Asian Paul. His story is inspiring, and I prayerfully hope that God may infuse in me a fraction of the faith that this man possesses and depends on daily. These accounts solidify and affirm that the God of the Bible is active in our world today. "
— Tyler, 8/16/2013 -
" A biography of a leader in the Chinese house churches. There are tales of amazing miracles that occurred through prayer, fasting, and persecution and has encouraged me to make prayer time with God a priority each day. "
— Jimes, 6/14/2013 -
" Wow. As an American Christian, this book was eye opening and challenging. Brother Yun's story is a powerful story of how God did great miracles through a man. It is also a story of suffering for Christ. He spent 7 years in prison. He suffered terrible torture. "
