DESCRIPTION

OUT OF PRINT

From the foreword by David Wong:

John Ting's life is lived out in this book - a lifetime of learning to be a husband, a father and a counsellor.

He deals with real situations. He tells of one real life experience after another, whether his own or others'. Asian readers will resonate easily with him as he relates experiences close to home. John handles with sensitivity issues like the single person in a culture that assumes everyone should get married, or the aged parent who assumes his children will not send him to a nursing home. However, the book goes beyond Asian values. The bible is the authority.

John may draw upon experiences from the real world, but he insists that they submit to biblical principles.

Finally the book provides practical steps to resolving issues and problems. John helps us to take a problem apart and resolves it bit by bit so that it no longer overwhelms us.

Readers will not find John sitting on the other side of the desk, instead, we will find him sitting on the same side with us as he shares in his characteristically candid way.
