My Missionary Manual: So I send you
I picked this from my wife’s bookshelve when I first got married. This is perhaps one of the best books I read on preparing as a missionary for a long time. I always learn a lot from Oswald Chambers’ writings. I read his devotions, My Utmost for His Highest, on a daily basis. This book […]
What my mind munch on….
Just feel like sharing what I’ve been reading, listening, watching the past few days. There are so much resources out there online and offline for us to digest. It is truly awesome and at times over whelming. Books Finish reading Generous Justice: How God’s Grace Makes Us Just by Tim Keller Currently reading A Lasting […]

One of the chapters is called Conflict This portion resonant to what I experience in […]
A promise of God’s Grace: A Prodigal God
I’ve been listening to Tim Keller‘s sermons on the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) for the past week. Today I loaded all of them up on my dad’s iPod Shuffle (I am testing it for him :P) and hit the trails. One of Tim’s sermons was entitled, The True Older Brother (Luke 15:17-32). To give a […]
Book Reflection: Eric Liddell Pure Gold
I finished reading Eric Liddell Pure Gold yesterday morning. My eyes were wet as the author described his family and how they hear the news. Because it was in war time, Eric’s family did not received the news until months later. His wife, Flo, was wondering when he would come back. What I am most […]
