In 2 days.
Many things are still dropping through the system from this - I've not read anything so significant for a long time, despite the fact it's a biography and contains no formal teaching whatsoever. I can't possible review it meaningfully, but I will make comments from time to time. It shows how shallow we are in the west, that issues like sexuality and marriage, desires for comfort and possessions can get in the way of us pursuing God's will for our lives.
A couple of things I'll mention:
In their bible school where they are training people to go out and take the gospel, they don't just receive bible teaching. They're also trained how to jump from a 2nd floor window while handcuffed and survive, and how to handle being tortured.
Western 'christian' philosophy and teaching caused the Chinese house churches to become fragmented and in a state of dis-unity.
God's will can include imprisonment, intense physical suffering, deprivation and even death for Christians. God's will, not man's or the devil's.
I wonder if many people actually believe in the same god at all?
