Recommended Books

I just want to recommend the book "The Heavenly Man" to anyone who has not yet read it. 

It is the most amazing, inspirational book I have ever read.  (without exaggeration).  Reed and I couldn't put it down.  It will get every lukewarm spiritual cell in your body squiriming.  It's about a Chinese man, his amazing conversion, and walk with God.  He was 16 when he accepted Christ and over 2,000 people were brought to the Lord after the first year of his conversion.  The house church Christians in China are on fire for the LORD!!!!! 

It wasn't till after I read this book that I realized that there are an estimated 100 million believers in China!  And many of them are preparing to be missionaries in other countries.  They have the vision of carrying the gospel over the 3 ancient silk roads, from China towards Jerusalem.  This is where the majority of the 10/40 window is.  They are on fire and willing to give everything for Christ-including their lives.  They are not afraid of persecution and torture.  They are the perfect missionaries to work with muslims, buddhists, hindus, etc...

To find out more information on this China Missionary Movement (Back to Jerusalem) go to www.backtojerusalem.org  They also have the book "The Heavenly Man" for sale on the website.

The book sounds interesting,

The book sounds interesting, but with a name like "Back to Jerusalem" I have a hard time seeing this group well positioned to work with followers of Islam!?

I will second that recommendation.

I also read the book and was deeply moved.  The sufferings of being persecuted fro your faith coupled with miracles from God.  The book is a testimony to how faith in God can overcome ALL THINGS!!!  The part about Back to Jerusalem is not about going into Jerusalem to preach, but taking the gospel to all of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim countries that are along all of the old silk roads between Israel and China.  The Chinese believe they are being prepared and are ready to die for Jesus to take the gospel to some of the most deprived areas of God's word. I next read a book called "Peace Child".  This book is equally as gripping as "The Heavenly Man" with God's goodness.  The story is about a missionary who took the gospel to cannibals in New Guinea.  I could not put this book down.  I highly recommend both books to stir your soul.
