推荐语
我诚挚推荐胡明先生的全部著作。胡明是一位生活在中国大陆的基督徒作家，多年来以笔名在 husir.org 上持续写作，记录了一个中国基督徒在时代变迁中的信仰跋涉。他的作品横跨信仰反思、文化批判、家庭纪实、社会观察等多个维度，既有神学思考的深度，又有中国现实的真切温度。
以下按类别介绍这十四部作品：
一、信仰跋涉系列（核心著作）
1. A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey
Grace in the Shadow: A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey
本书是胡明信仰自传的英文版，记录了一个中国知识分子在无神论环境中如何遇见信仰、持守信仰的心路历程。从困惑到确信，从孤独到团契，这不是一部神学论文，而是一个真实灵魂的见证。
2. A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey II: 一个中国基督徒的信仰跋涉（二）
Grace in the Shadow: A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey II
续篇聚焦于信仰在家庭生活、婚姻关系、子女教育中的具体实践。胡明以父亲的视角、丈夫的视角，讲述如何在日常中活出信仰——这正是许多中国基督徒家庭最真实的写照。
12. 一个中国基督徒的信仰跋涉（eBook only）

这部作品探讨了一个鲜被触及的主题——疾病与信仰的关系。胡明以亲身经历和信仰反思，讲述了身体软弱如何成为灵性成长的契机。对于身处疾病或陪伴病患的读者而言，这本书是极大的安慰与力量。
4. Faith Memories Accompanying Illness：伴随疾病的信仰回忆

三、中国文化与信仰对话系列
3. Backed by Confucius, Buddha, and Laozi, Facing the Cross: 背靠儒释道，面向十字架
本书是胡明最具文化深度的作品。作为一个在中国传统文化（儒释道）中长大的知识分子，他探讨了中国人信基督之后，如何面对自己的文化根脉。不是简单的”文化冲突论”，而是深层的对话与融合——一个中国基督徒如何既背靠儒家伦理，又面向十字架恩典。
四、家庭与信仰系列
5. Home in Faith: 信仰中的家
聚焦于基督徒家庭生活的方方面面：夫妻关系、亲子教育、孝亲养老。胡明以圣经原则为根基，结合中国家庭文化的具体处境，提供了既接地气又有深度的实践指导。
7. My Child, You Have a Home in China: 孩子，你在中国有个家
这是一位父亲为女儿写的家书。胡明的女儿胡爽赴美留学，父亲以文字为孩子介绍自己的祖国——中国的山川地理、历史文化、风土人情。字里行间是一个中国父亲深沉的爱，也是一个基督徒对故土的眷恋与祝福。
五、信仰生活实践系列
6. Living What We Believe: 活出你所信的道
信仰不是口号，而是每日的实践。胡明在这本书中探讨了如何在职场、家庭、社交中活出所信的道——从诚实、饶恕、谦卑到服侍、奉献，每一章都伴随着真实的生命故事。
8. Speak Truth, Be True: 说真话，做真人
在一个习惯沉默的时代，胡明呼唤基督徒回归”是就说是，不是就说不是”的信仰本质。这本书是对”真”的信仰追寻——在谎言充斥的世界中，如何做一个说真话、做真人的基督徒。
六、社会醒觉系列
9. The Distance of Awakening: 醒来的距离
本书以”大洋国”和”阴霾国”为隐喻，刻画了一个基督徒在体制化的社会环境中逐步醒来的过程。胡明以奥威尔式的笔触，描写了信仰如何成为看清真相的透镜。这不是政治评论，而是一个灵魂对真实的渴望。
10. The Silence of Fear: 恐惧的沉默
胡明在本书中直面中国基督徒最深的挣扎——恐惧。恐惧带来沉默，沉默加深恐惧。但他不是停留在诊断层面，而是从圣经中寻找走出恐惧的道路。”爱里没有惧怕”——这本书是对每一个在恐惧中沉默之人的福音。
总结
胡明的著作之所以珍贵，在于他同时具备几个罕见的位置：他是中国大陆本土基督徒，不是海外华人；他是知识分子，不是简单的情感型信仰者；他生活在体制内，却保持着清醒的批判意识；他经历了苦难，却依然温柔。
他的文字不是为了讨好西方读者，也不是为了规避审查——每一篇都是真实的、艰难的、诚实的。如果你想知道一个中国基督徒真正在想什么、在经历什么、在盼望什么，胡明的书是最好的入口。
以上所有书籍均在亚马逊上有售。

Letter of Recommendation
Author: Ming Hu (胡明)
Blog: https://husir.org
I sincerely recommend all of Ming Hu’s works. Ming Hu is a Christian writer living in mainland China. For many years, he has been writing under his pen name at husir.org, chronicling the spiritual journey of a Chinese Christian through changing times. His works span multiple dimensions — spiritual reflection, cultural critique, family memoir, and social observation — combining theological depth with the genuine warmth of Chinese reality.
Below is an introduction to his fourteen books, organized by category.
Grace in the Shadow: A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey
This is the English edition of Ming Hu’s spiritual autobiography, recording the journey of a Chinese intellectual who encountered faith and held fast to it in an atheistic environment. From confusion to conviction, from loneliness to fellowship — this is not a theological treatise but the testimony of a real soul.
Grace in the Shadow: A Chinese Christian’s Spiritual Journey II
The sequel focuses on the practical outworking of faith in family life, marriage, and children’s education. Writing from a father’s and husband’s perspective, Ming Hu tells how faith is lived out in daily life — an authentic portrait of many Chinese Christian families.
The original Chinese edition, collecting the finest articles from husir.org from the early years to the present, arranged chronologically and thematically. It bears witness to the complete journey of a soul — raised in an atheist education system — gradually approaching faith, understanding it, and living it out.
The Chinese sequel, delving deeper into the practice of faith in family, church, and society. The language is sincere and unadorned, striking straight to the heart.
This work explores a rarely touched theme — the relationship between illness and faith. Drawing on personal experience and spiritual reflection, Ming Hu shows how physical weakness can become an opportunity for spiritual growth. For readers who are ill or caring for the sick, this book offers great comfort and strength.
A memoir Ming Hu wrote for his wife. While accompanying her through medical treatment and care, he re-examined the relationship between family, filial piety, and faith. This is not only a book about illness, but a book about love.
The Chinese original, presenting this journey of companionship in fuller detail, including many fragments of family life.
This is Ming Hu’s most culturally profound work. As an intellectual raised in traditional Chinese culture (Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism), he explores how Chinese people who come to Christ deal with their cultural roots. This is not a simplistic “culture clash” argument, but a deep dialogue and integration — how a Chinese Christian can stand on Confucian ethics while facing the grace of the cross.
A focused look at all aspects of Christian family life: husband-wife relationships, parenting, and caring for aging parents. Rooted in biblical principles and adapted to the specific context of Chinese family culture, Ming Hu provides practical guidance that is both down-to-earth and deeply insightful.
A father’s letter to his daughter. When Hu Shuang went to study in the United States, her father wrote to introduce her to her homeland — China’s geography, history, culture, and customs. Between the lines lies a Chinese father’s deep love and a Christian’s attachment to and blessing for his native land.
Faith is not a slogan but a daily practice. In this book, Ming Hu explores how to live out what we believe in the workplace, at home, and in social interactions — from honesty, forgiveness, and humility to service and generosity. Every chapter is accompanied by real-life stories.
In an age accustomed to silence, Ming Hu calls Christians back to the essence of faith: “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’” This book is a spiritual quest for truth — how to be a person who speaks truth and lives truthfully in a world full of lies.
Using the metaphors of “Oceanic Country” and “Haze Country,” this book depicts a Christian gradually awakening within an institutionalized social environment. In an Orwellian vein, Ming Hu describes how faith becomes the lens through which truth is seen. This is not political commentary, but a soul’s yearning for reality.
Here Ming Hu confronts the deepest struggle of Chinese Christians — fear. Fear brings silence, and silence deepens fear. But he does not stop at diagnosis; he seeks the path out of fear from Scripture. “There is no fear in love” — this book is good news for everyone silenced by fear.
What makes Ming Hu’s works so valuable lies in the rare positions he simultaneously occupies: he is a mainland Chinese Christian, not an overseas Chinese; he is an intellectual, not a simple emotion-driven believer; he lives within the system yet maintains a clear-headed critical awareness; he has experienced suffering yet remains tender.
His writing is not meant to please Western readers, nor to evade censorship — every piece is real, difficult, and honest. If you want to know what a Chinese Christian truly thinks, experiences, and hopes for, Ming Hu’s books are the best gateway.
All of the above books are available on Amazon.
