An Asian Harvest: An Autobiography
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.

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.

What can God do with a high school drop out?
Anything He desires. He can use him to bless thousands of fellow believers, reach countless perishing souls, and alert the church to the desperate needs in Asia.
This is a Christian autobiography; more than that, it’s a chronicle of Christ’s work in and through a willing servant. Christ really is the center of this book. Hattaway is very careful to give God the glory for any successes or blessings he and his ministry have seen. By the end of the book, you will want the same quality walk with the Savior he has. Will you trade security, wealth, health, love, and reputation for it? Are you willing, as he was, to obey God’s direction at every step? When you fail, will you repent? Will you worry more about Christ’s reputation than your own? Will you give yourself to God?
I was so convicted and encouraged by this book. It’s Hattaway’s story, but more it’s his testimony of redemption and sanctification. He tells it in a very straightforward manner, only interrupting to illustrate with a scripture verse or two. That was done in a slightly different manner than I’ve seen before. It was done so well that it didn’t interrupt the train of thought. Oh, there were also a few paragraphs inserted here and there by other people. They helped give both sides of the story very clearly.
No doubt, this book will generate controversy. It deals with some of the nastiest things that happen in the Church. He does it with grace and delicacy, but it’s a hard read. How could it not be? (I’m trying not to spoil the book, so there will be no specifics.) The original sin that affected them stretched into years of slander, attacks, threats, and intimidation. Hattaway describes what going through a situation like that and the resulting rumors and loneliness is like. While he speaks of what others did to him and his family, he still focuses on God’s grace, strength, comfort, forgiveness, and teachings more.
There are many miracles mentioned, but again they aren’t the focus. Christ and His purposes are. I didn’t feel that it was sensationalized. Therefore, I recommend it to you wholeheartedly. I believe, if you are saved, it will encourage you to walk with the Lord; and if you are lost, by the end, you will know that Christ paid the penalty for your sins by dying on the Cross, and rose again to offer you eternal life. What will you do with Jesus which is called Christ?
I received this as a free ARC from NetGalley and Lion Hudson IP Limited Monarch Books. No review was required, but it was my pleasure to write it. Please let me recommend it to you. It is a great blessing.

Ever since I learned what Paul Hattaway is doing for the cause of the unreached peoples of earth, he has been a hero of mine. This is the astounding story of how God used his life, and should be read by every Christian missionary.

This was such a good autobiography! I've been familiar with the ministry Asia Harvest for years, but I didn't know much about its founder. I would recommend every Christian young person (or older person) to read this book, though some content (persecution, torture, etc.) makes it suitable for only older teens or young adults on up. The book was convicting to me as well as encouraging.

Hattaway has finally told his own story. It is an amazing one. He relates his conversion and his later experience of smuggling Bibles into China, God directing and providing for his needs. He also transported Bibles within China in the 1980s. He tells of traveling in Asia and of a near death experience. He lived in a storage shed on a chicken farm, a cheap residence so he could spend his money and time on getting Bibles into China. He also tells of his journey to marriage, facing unfounded attacks against him and his future wife. I was shocked that some Christian ministers (and ministries) were willing to cover up the sexual abuse of the accuser because the man was well liked on the mission field.
While Hattaway went to a year of Bible college, he says that his travels gave him a much better education. He learned many lessons, including not getting trapped by the schemes of Satan. He also experienced miraculous provision. His stories of God's intervention are really encouraging.
This is a great autobiography in itself but it also gave me much to think about. Would I deny my faith to preserve my family? Would I support a $40 million dollar church expansion here in the U.S. when tens of millions of believers in China struggle to survive without God's Word? (275)
Even after a recent stroke, Hattaway is still very active in seeing Bibles provided to believers in China. In 2016, the Asia Harvest organization passed the milestone of producing ten million Bibles for China. (284) I really appreciate the structure of his organization, keeping the staff expenses low.
Hattaway's story is an inspiration. He was willing, early in his life, to continue cleaning toilets for the rest of his life if that was where God wanted Him to be. Such a devotion to serving God is encouraging. While he acknowledge that his life is not to be a template for every Christian, it certainly made me think of my own dedication to service.

[Note: This book was provided free of charge by Kregel Book Tours. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]
In reading this book, I was struck by how Nathanish the author seemed. A young man grows up in a dysfunctional family, and through an unconventional series of events becomes a missionary. He finds it awkward to deal with courtship, although he eventually marries a young woman from Idaho, and has frequent quarrels and difficulties with others. Towards the end of the book, though, it is revealed that this somewhat overly intense gentleman is a sufferer of Asperger's syndrome and it becomes clear why exactly I can relate to him so much [1]. Here was yet another example of a Nathanish person writing a book. There was a great deal familiar about this book--the author and I even had many of the same haunts with a connection to missionary work in Chiang Mai, Thailand, of all places [2]. So, I was quite surprised that what we have here is a book about someone I haven ever heard of but who is a lot like me and who has traveled to many of the same places that I have with largely similar aims and a high degree of concern in sharing the truth of God with those who have not been reached by the Gospel message.
In terms of its contents, this book is 300 pages and is a somewhat unconventional autobiography. Many of the books I read in this genre are memoirs, in that they are about the lives of people but those lives are often set in a larger context--such as dysfunctionality or brokenness of some kind. This book was clearly an autobiography, in that while the author claimed a rather low view of himself apart from the grace of God, this was clearly a book focused on the author. At the end of chapters there are some testimonials by people like the author's wife and others, and the story is certainly a gripping one. It begins close to the end in looking at a heart attack the author suffered in 2013, and then goes to the beginning of the author's life in the context of his parents. From there it shows the author's struggles and his negative dealings with all kinds of authorities, from unsympathetic instructors who view the half-Maori child as a hopeless cause to lukewarm church authorities to political authorities in China and elsewhere who are hostile to Christianity. The author is not shy to talk about his own long struggle with a slanderous pedophile and serial sexual predator who had his eye on the author's wife before they married.
This is certainly a compelling narrative of an interesting life spent in unconventional but wholeheartedly sincere service to Christ. On every page the author's passion and devotion to Christ and to believers around the world is evident. There are really two issues I have with this book. The first of those issues is one I have already alluded to, and that is that this author has lived a life full of intense conflict that I find difficult to endorse. One wonders how much of the conflict and difficulties with authority that the author has faced have been the result of a difference in Spirit and how much has been due to a lack of tact and Christian forebearance on the part of the author. The author seems like someone who would be pretty ready to tangle with others and likely to assume any disagreement was one of stark black and white, and he seems like a difficult person to deal with. Related to this is the fact that I have a great deal of concern about the way the author expresses his communication with God, something I find problematic in dealing with Pentecostal writers in general who are prone to overstating the level of communication with God that is present in their lives. With those concerns stated, though, this is a book that was surprisingly compelling, although I would have preferred to have found out about the author from a third party somewhat removed from the intense drama of the author's life. There is no doubt many people would feel the same way about me, though.

I've appreciated Paul Hattaway's work over the years, met him face-to-face at a conference in the mid-1990s, and promoted his books and news about his organization, Asia Harvest, when I could. I had little idea what his personal story might be or what was going on behind the scenes. The title made me wonder if this was one of those books that is an extended advertisement for an organization. But it's firmly focused on Paul's journey of following the Lord to reach the unreached peoples of Asia -- despite many challenges and a shocking amount of opposition from fellow believers.
Paul describes how he came to know the Lord, was quickly called into the back-breaking and humbling ministry of smuggling Bibles into China, and, in the years to come, has served house-church leaders in a variety of ways. Though he was a high-school dropout, Hattaway is very gifted and thorough and over time has become quite an expert and spokesperson for the Chinese church, authoring "Operation China," "Peoples of the Buddhist World," and other books reflecting extensive research into minority people groups as well as several books of history/biography, most notably the bestseller "The Heavenly Man."
Though this book communicates the vision of Asia Harvest well, it does what most effective spiritual memoirs seem to do: it focuses on Paul's spiritual journey. Even readers who have never been to Asia or supported work there can find inspiration for their own lives.

Asian Harvest is the true story of a man who takes a very unconventional journey to a ministry of providing Bibles to countries that have limited access to them. As a new believer Paul was challenged to be a “donkey” for Jesus, carrying Bibles into China illegally because the legal limit of Bibles fell far short of reaching those who desperately needed them. He began his ministry totally untrained and with no financial support. He admits that God never intended his life to be a template for others to follow. Paul has endured many hardships and difficulties, but through his ministry inside and outside of China millions of Bibles have made their way to believers in house churches who needed them.
Paul has witnessed great fervor in persecuted Christians and a great revival in China. In over 25 years of connections to China more than fifty Asian Christians in ministries he’s worked with have been martyred. He has also played a support role in translating Bibles into languages that previously had no Bibles. This is an interesting story of one man with a great vision of getting Bible into the hands of Asians who needed them.
In the book Paul uses terminology that, to me, hints at charismatic influences, though he never mentions speaking in tongues or people with the sign gifts.

While reading this book, we see a couple (Paul and Joy) who lived in instant obedience, but more so a couple who lived in persevering obedience - a couple who never gave up. The pages of this wonderful book are filled with the testimonies of a couple who counted the cost and decided that His calling is everything in their lives. Over the years, they learnt to look beyond the hardships and persecutions and see the King, therefore they could persevere and continue even when things where very tough. The book “An Asian harvest” is full of adventure and victories, but also pain and heartache. In the end, what stayed with us, is that God can perform great miracles through someone who is available. Thank you, Paul, for sharing your road with us. We have surely been enriched by it.

This is the recently-published autobiography of a missionary to China! It is a very in depth biography and gives a well-rounded picture of the author's life both before and during China missions. At first, before I really got to know the missionary, I found the book a little tedious and too detailed. however, as I continued reading I got more interested in the author's life. I also began to appreciate his Godly character qualities and found myself agreeing with and admiring his stance on many issues. In fact, since the author includes his regular struggles in life, I found this a helpful book just for life in general, not to mention mission life. As for the life in China, this book is very interesting and a testimony to God's faithfulness!
I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is an interesting autobiography by Paul Hattaway about his spiritual journey. Without a formal education he has established a unique missions organization which supports hundreds of indigenous evangelists in Asia and assists in getting Bibles in many countries. It is an exciting testimony of how God can use a man fully committed to Him.

An amazing & inspiring autobiography. Should really cause one to think about their sincerity & devotion towards God. The way he & his wife have lived their lives with such abandon for God is humbling.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had the luxury of reading a book through in less than 24 hours. Reminiscent of God Smuggler, lots of interesting stories and things that would be helpful on the mission field!
March 7, 2018
This is his autobiography. Interesting read about an interesting man, who is kind of a non-conformist in the missions world. Always enjoy a good biography/ autobio.

I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. It has impacted me as often autobiographies can do.
I have received newsletters from Asia Harvest for many years as Paul Hattaway has faithfully reported on the work God has led him into. Reading Paul’s life story has opened my eyes to seeing this mans integrity and total desire to follow Gods lead, not expect God to follow what he thinks is best.
The growth and blessing of Asia Harvest is testimony to the 100% commitment Paul has made to reach Asia with the gospel of Jesus. Some Christian missionaries build their own kingdom and wonder why they fall in a heap.
Paul has walked the reader through his own life from his child hood in New Zealand in an abusive anti God family, to breaking free from that situation as a teenager, moving to Australia and struggling to survive . He is invited to a Church where , for the first time he receives kindness. He also hears the gospel message and wholeheartedly gives his life to God.
This is no fairytale story. It shows the many difficulties that Paul faced in his desire to serve God in China and Asia. He also tells how God overwhelmingly supplied his needs above and beyond his expectation
I encourage anyone to read this book. Christians will be challenged and encouraged, non Christians or those who have turned away from faith will, I hope , have much to ponder as they read about Paul Hattaway’s life.

I started 2023 with one of the most remarkable autobiographies I've ever read. It definitely ranks in my top 3 favorite books. It helped me to see the ministry from another perspective, and taught me to turn to the Word when I need guidance to make decisions and then to let the Holy Spirit guide me.
I personally fit in with people who take decisions very hard and wait for a sign to fall on their heads. This Book changed my view in this area. From Paul and his life and ministry, I learned that there is no need for a sign to fall on my head, all I need God already provided: His Word and the Holy Spirit !!!
It's an amazing book what will change you for sure, I recommend it 100%

Man of Great Faith
I am disappointed in myself when I'm surprised by God's miracles. That is who God is, and great me and women of faith expect God to be true to His Word!
I was surprised by the great battle with Calvin and his family, and particularly by mentioning their names. That being said, I believe Paul and Joy prayed that God would lead them how to respond.
Praise God for their unselfish work and their obedience to God's Word!

5 stars for the content. Paul Hattaway does live an inspiring life. And his heart for the unreached people groups is so refreshing. 4 stars for the writing style. There were definitely moments where I had to scan read to make it through. That said this book did inspire me a lot. I want to be more willing to step out and do rather than sit around waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Great story about a man who is very disqualified in the worlds eyes, but the Lord used for big things. A informative book on the work that God has been doing in China since the 80’s. A big credit to that movement is the work the Lord did through this man. Great testimony!!

I found this book so inspiring, what an incredible testimony. How good God is to work through those who are willing! I loved reading about a missionary who for once is from New Zealand and I was amazed at every chapter.
August 1, 2023
I read this book because I loved the heavenly man. I thought it was going to be hard to top the heavenly man story, but I found this book just as good! I was gripped from cover to cover. Thank you Paul for sharing your incredible and inspirational story.
