I must confess, rather shamefully, that I haven't heard of Brother Yun before reading this book. However, after reading this book, I find that I deeply admire Brother Yun. You see, Living Water is a "collection of his teachings that evolved from his life experiences of persecution and revival in China. Each section contains many small chapters; each focusing on one individual topic. In this I must confess, rather shamefully, that I haven't heard of Brother Yun before reading this book. In this way, I discovered that this book is best read a chapter at a time, much like a devotional.

The contents of this book is like a personal sharing, as Brother Yun uses the Bible and his personal life experiences to share what he has learnt. What most impressed me from this book was the lack of bitterness. Brother Yun has been in prison and persecuted for Christ, but he accepts this with a gladful heart. In fact, he calls prison a 'school' and confesses that he has gone to prison because he's ministry overtook his relationship with God, and says that prison was a wonderful opportunity for him to draw near to God.

The book is easy to read and is very inspiring. Brother Yun doesn't mince words when he condemns the Western Churches for focusing more on theology than a relationship, for focusing on building churches instead of the Church. He offers a very strong call to revival and shows how God uses persecution to build His Church up. I heartily recommend this book. It's a simple book with a very powerful message. To end, I want to share a passage from the last chapter that I found inspiring: And He resides in the hearts of all who believe in Him.

Time is short and is valuable. Don't waste any more time trying to serve God in your own strength and with your own ideas. Stop living like He is dead. Let the living Jesus shine from your life.

There is no reason to go around with a sour face! Turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into joy. Jan 25, Lynn rated it it was amazing. I bought this book after reading The Heavenly Man and it has not disappointed me. My daughter and I read a chapter together when we were able to, and I would find that I would be thinking about what we had read all the next day.

I bought a second copy and sent it to my friend in another city, because it is rare to find such profoundly inspired literature in our day and age.

God is surely still speaking to some people and obviously, like in the case of Brother Yun, some people are still listening. I am a changed person because of this book and a better Christian. Yun has the mind of Christ and God's Spirit is certainly speaking through this book.

Apr 11, Andy Zach rated it it was amazing Shelves: In "Living Water", Brother Yun gives an outstanding perspective on Christians, Christianity, and the church from the point of view of a Chinese evangelist who's endured persecution and torture for forty years. His bold vision for Chinese Christians is to carry the gospel to all nations south and west of China until they reach Jerusalem. After enduring and escaping torture, nothing fazes him, nor many Chinese Christians.

Following Jesus is more than just saying that you "believe" in Him. The journey begins in your heart, and from there it overflows in the way you live your entire life by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Brother Yun's experiences and insights reminded me that the call to pick up your cross and follow Jesus is just as Greg Boyd's recent sermon series explained: Yun reminded me of the unparalleled, mysterious power of the Holy Spirit, and that just because God calls you Following Jesus is more than just saying that you "believe" in Him.

Yun reminded me of the unparalleled, mysterious power of the Holy Spirit, and that just because God calls you to do something doesn't mean that it will be easy. In fact, it might be the most painful experience of your life. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for reminding me through Brother Yun of the passion, joy, peace, and sincerity of what it means to take on the name of Christ. Aug 06, Tyler Hochstetler rated it liked it. Want an inspiring story of perseverance through hardship? A man that has a reason to live that is above and beyond himself.. This man changes the world. Nietzsche stated "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

Dedicated to spreading Christianity in a troubled and struggling nation, Brother Yun reached millions of persecuted humans. Great follow-up to 'Heavenly Man'. Apr 20, Mark Glidden rated it did not like it Shelves: Whilst I am a firm believer in the miraculous, as well as in Divine Intervention, I also believe that there is a difference between fact and fiction.

As such, I am of the opinion that a lot, if not all, of what Brother Yun has been said to have done, is either: This book is rubbish and only the blindest, irrational sheep would believe it.

Jan 19, Tom rated it really liked it. Peel away the clogged western arteries feeding an over-stuffed western worldview, and live out the Gospel.

Jan 24, Sarah Hu rated it it was amazing. Every chapter is like a sermon, and by the end I couldn't keep my excitement in! God is doing mighty things in China! This book is written to Christians in the west, who want to see revival happen here as well. Mar 04, Anna Sojourning rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: This is easily one of my new favorite books of all time. All the teachings and messages in this books are powerful indeed, and without a doubt inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Mar 26, Hsgramof4 rated it liked it. This book reads more like a manual than an inspiring journey. He does pinpoint a few western church issues I knew existed but I couldnt name them exactly and he nails it. Informative verses inspired in my opinion. Oct 20, Don rated it really liked it. Inspiring read, but not as good as "Heavenly Man" by the same author.

Feb 09, Sharon Sorko-ram wickey rated it it was amazing. Feb 27, Angela rated it it was amazing Shelves: Very inspirational read, encouraging us all to be filled with the Holy Spirit so we can spread God's word! This seems to be a series of sermons or articles that have been put together into book form. Brother Yun an exiled Chinese underground church leader is particularly speaking to the western church. It is good for us to hear what Christians outside the west have to say to us. This is not light teaching. I spend about three weeks on it. But it is very readable and convicting.

My only negative is that there are some repeated stories and illustrations in the different chapters which Short Review: My only negative is that there are some repeated stories and illustrations in the different chapters which is what makes me think this is a series of sermons or articles, not a straightforward book. I would read the biography Heavenly Man first, to give you a context of who Brother Yun is and why you should listen to what he has to say.
