On the Nightstand: May 2016

A friend from my parish provided great recommendations for reading brotheryunin March and April, so I’m turning again to a friend for May. Trudy and I have known each other for several years, and she’s remarked more than once on the story of Brother Yun, the exiled Chinese Christian house church leader and evangelist. So, this month, I’ll be taking on his autobiography.

I think about the people like Brother Yun and those whose names we don’t know who day in, day out, take risks in living their faith. I admire their strength and courage… and wonder if I could do the same. I hope I never have to find out.
