I just started this book a few days ago and I can't put it down. Brother Yun is a faithful man of God who tells his story of suffering and persecution in China to bring glory to his Creator. By reading Brother Yun's story, I have been challenged in asking God how I can walk by faith and be eternally minded in all areas of my life, both personally and in ministry. This section of 2 Corinthians really spoke to me as I am reading about this faithful servant of Christ:"From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 esv
