>> Heaven focused joy in persecution
I don t read enough Christian biographies Maybe one a year The last one was A Severe Mercy which my mom s reading right now and that one was glorious But partly its enjoyment came from the magical writing Whether the writing is engrossing or not I know there is a wealth of wisdom and insight waiting to be gleaned from the lives of saints who have gone before
This book has been sitting on our shelf for years but what finally drove me to take it down and dive in was a newly wakened desire to get into the mind of the house church Christians in China And let me tell you it was eye opening Not amazing writing but definitely an amazing tale
Brother Yun s story covers his conversion as a young boy in a poor village his frequent persecution torture and imprisonment and his ministry to everyone from house church members to prison guards It is a testimony of God s faithfulness and the joy he offers to those who embrace persecution Matthew 5 10
I didn t suffer for Jesus in prison No I was with Jesus and I experienced His very real presence joy and peace every day It s not those in prison for the sake of the gospel who suffer The person who suffers is he who never experiences God s intimate presence
Brother Yun
