Paul Hattaway is an expert on the Chinese church and author of THE HEAVENLY MAN, the story of Brother Yun; OPERATION CHINA, and many other books. Paul went on to set up Asia Harvest, a Christian ministry committed to see effective churches planted among unreached people groups throughout Asia.

Leaving home and his native New Zealand aged 16, Paul Hattaway found himself in Australia, homeless, hungry, and lonely, sleeping on the roof of a public bathroom. "A waste of oxygen" was his high school principal's assessment. After a fellow factory worker helped him to find faith, he quickly became convinced that God was calling him to China and in 1988 Paul arrived in Hong Kong with nothing more than a backpack, a single contact, and $50. He began work as a Bible courier, carrying hundreds at a time across the Chinese border under the noses of the guards. Today Paul Hattaway leads Asia Harvest, the ministry he founded, which supports thousands of indigenous missionaries and has supplied over 10 million Bibles to China and millions more to Christians throughout Asia. An Asian Harvest is his astonishing story.

A gripping autobiography by missionary and Bible courier Paul Hattaway, author of The Heavenly Man.

An autobiography by Paul Hattaway, a high school dropout from New Zealand whose love for God and commitment to the peoples of Asia has led him to provide 10 million Bibles to China alone, and to sponsor more than 1500 Asian missionaries through the ministry Asia Harvest. Paul is a gifted speaker, but in obedience to God he has focused for many years on his writing, notably telling the story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun in his book The Heavenly Man, which has sold over one million copies and been translated into nearly 50 languages.

"Paul Hattaway is a faithful servant called by the Lord. He is a God-fearing prayer warrior who studies the Bible carefully and walks in the ways of the Lord." -- Brother Yun, "The Heavenly Man" "It has been my privilege to have known Paul Hattaway for nearly twenty years. I have not met anyone else with his knowledge and understanding of the Church and people of Asia. He has experienced missionary life first hand, his research is legendary, and he appreciates the challenges of going to the unreached. Paul has been an invaluable friend, partner, and advisor to AsiaLink since our inception. If you meet Paul, you will know that overriding all of this is his God-given desire to see Asia's billions saved from eternal death." -- Colin Dudgeon, AsiaLink, United Kingdom "We are grateful to Paul Hattaway and Asia Harvest for providing millions of Bibles to the people of China. We cannot find words to express our thanks for the unselfish giving of those who have provided the Word of Life to us." -- Brother Chen, senior house church leader, China "I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Paul Hattaway and Asia Harvest for their generous help in providing Bibles to untold thousands of poor Christians throughout India. They also support hundreds of native missionaries who are committed to spreading the Good News to the unreached people groups of India. Multitudes of Indian believers greatly appreciate their love and partnership." -- Brother Pankaj, ministry leader, India "We are very blessed to have labored for a number of years with Paul Hattaway in providing support to hundreds of faithful and fruitful native missionaries. Paul is one of the great unsung heroes in God's vineyard. His research into unreached peoples across Asia has impacted the work of many mission agencies, including ours. For a missionary who has worked quietly in the shadows, his ardent advocacy for native missionaries has been highly exemplary. We love and esteem our dear brother." -- Carl Gordon and Bo Barredo, Co-founders, Advancing Native Missions "Joining hands with Paul Hattaway and Asia Harvest has dynamically increased the speed by which remote unreached people groups throughout the Himalayas are being reached. Through their loving support, Asia Harvest has accelerated the gospel among those who have never heard of Christ at the top of the world." -- Sarwochcha Himal, The Footstool Project, Nepal "Over the past twelve years we have seen the powerful and lasting impact Paul Hattaway and Asia Harvest have made for Christ Jesus among the Vietnamese people. Paul's driving passion for being about his Father's business, combined with his insight and deep understanding of the spiritual needs of our nation, are a great blessing that has resulted in much fruit for the kingdom of God." -- Joshua and Ruth Nguyen, ministry leaders, Vietnam "Paul Hattaway is a man with a clear focus and passion for the lost. Even after experiencing some health challenges, he has continued to pursue the dream God placed in his heart. This book is the expression of his life calling. I am glad God brought Paul into our lives. Through our partnership, we have planted many churches throughout Indonesia." -- Paulus Wiratno, Founder, Mercy Indonesia "Paul Hattaway and his co-workers have been a tremendous help to our young church planters among unreached people groups in Cambodia. They have aided our workers as they take the Good News of Jesus Christ to villages that have never heard the gospel even once. We thank you with all our hearts!" -- Joni Wise, Paraclete Ministries, Cambodia "Paul Hattaway and his ministry have been a great source of encouragement in empowering church planters among some of the most unreached people groups in the Philippines. Their partnership has been instrumental in major breakthroughs for the kingdom of God. May the Name of Jesus be praised." -- Paul Ignacio, HIS1040 Ministries, Philippines "Our primary goal is to reach the unreached with the gospel of Jesus Christ as we shine God's light to the 150 million people of Bangladesh. Together with Paul and his co-workers we have spread the Good News to the four corners of our country. We deeply appreciate our partnership." -- Brother Swapon, Ministry leader, Bangladesh "The tens of thousands of Bibles that Paul Hattaway and his team have provided for the people of Myanmar are amazing to us and are of the greatest benefit. We have uncountable blessings because of the Scriptures we have received, as only the Bible can transform our country. We are deeply thankful for the blessing Paul has been to our nation for many years." -- Brother Joseph, Ministry leader, Myanmar (Burma) "We are humbled by the support of Paul Hattaway and Asia Harvest to our ministry in Sri Lanka. Literally millions of Scriptures have gone out from here all over the Indian subcontinent because of Paul's vision and heart to extend the kingdom of God." -- Daniel Kort, New Life Literature, Sri Lanka "I first worked with Paul and Asia Harvest in 1992, delivering Bibles to house churches in China. We have increased our partnership together, as we intensify our commitment to providing God's Word." -- Gary Russell, Founder, China Harvest Inc "Paul Hattaway's zeal and dedication for reaching the unreached has highly motivated us. His fervent pursuit of God's call, even in very difficult circumstances, is exemplary. The many years of collaboration with Paul have expanded our vision and helped us see God's big picture. We count it a tremendous privilege and blessing to represent Asia Harvest in Europe." -- Jurgen and Ruth Rintz, Stiftung SALZ Germany and Switzerland "It is our honor to have worked with the author for more than a decade, bringing the love of Christ to unreached people groups in China, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar. We cannot find words to express our gratitude to the unselfish giving of Paul and his team, and all who have supported their work." -- John Chiang, Founder, Minorities for Christ International

Paul Hattaway is an expert on the Chinese church and author of THE HEAVENLY MAN, the story of Brother Yun; OPERATION CHINA, and many other books. Because his work is sensitive he avoids being photographed.

From the co-writer of Heavenly Man comes a story of God's power at work on Asia as 10 Million Bibles are distributed there.

\["For fans of Heavenly Man","An inspiring story of growth and revival in China and its surrounding countries","This autobiography will inspire you into supporting the work that goes on there"\]
