This book details extreme persecutions and miraculous deliverances akin to biblical accounts. Despite a life of poverty in China, the author has since spoken to thousands, possibly millions, internationally with his gospel message. Viewed as a rebel by some Chinese for not joining the official government-controlled Christian organization, he was imprisoned and tortured. While in prison, his ministry continued with further miraculous results, leading many prisoners and even some officials to become born-again Christians. The book recounts his legendary escape from a maximum-security prison, from which no one had previously escaped, after hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit telling him to simply walk out.
The narrative follows Brother Yun, a prominent and courageous leader of the underground church in China, highlighting his intense persecution and unwavering faith. Presented through striking black-and-white illustrations by Chinese artists, the adaptation maintains an authentic style that complements the powerful story of resilience and dedication in the face of adversity.
