Good, Hard, Uncomfortable, Necessary Read

Just finished The Heavenly Man (how do I underline that in this blogging world?) about Chinese Brother Yun's life and ministry in China.  Wow.  Not a comfortable book to read.  Western affluency will always hinder our truly sympathizing with Christians in China.  One paragraph sums it up best:

"In the West many Christians have an abundance of material possessions, yet they live in a backslidden state.  They have silver and gold, but they don't rise up and walk in Jesus' name.  In China we have no possessions to hold us down, so there is nothing preventing us from moving out for the Lord."

We should not feel guilty in the West for our abundance.  We should though see it as a responsibility more than a right. 

I'm always ready to speak of a book worth reading.  Add this one to your list.
