The Land of Milk and Honey
A Journey of God’s Amazing Grace

Book Cover & Preview Text
A common trait of those walking down the “back side of the mountain of life” is a willingness to reflect back on the course of life. Many who were born into a Christian home know what it is to be touched at an early age by God’s love, only to drift away from the faith, falling prey to the temptations of this materialistic world.
The Land of Milk and Honey is the memoir of such a young man, who had always been a free-spirited risk taker. He knew that it was neither rebellion nor anger that drove him, but a relentless desire for more—more success, more independence, more of the good life.
This is the story of his journey, one that would take him west from a comfortable home in Hong Kong into a crowded tenement in New York City’s Chinatown, on to the sprawling campuses of prestigious universities, and finally to the executive suite of one of the largest financial institutions on Wall Street.
It is also a story of spiritual transformation, one that would require a series of divine interventions to bring him back to the God he loved so much.
It would be in China that he finally embraced the true purpose of his life.

一直以来阅读和写作对我来说都是富有挑战性的。 然而，我已经有了一段日子，很清楚地听到神的呼召，把我在你生命中所做的一切写成书作为见证。 是的，我已不再恐惧写作了。我要把上帝在我身上所显一切大能的故事告诉他人。我决定写这本书，藉着神的恩典和帮助，我终于完成此书，现在我以一颗谦卑感恩的心，把这本书呈献给你。
神给了我异常的恩典。 年轻时，我有一段漫长的日子迷失在悖逆的罪恶中，但是上帝从来未曾丢弃我。 当我被圣灵的力量感动帶我回家时，慈爱天父马上张开双臂来迎接我，用那流奶与蜜之地来祝福我，是我曾经用许多错误的方法去寻求时却未能得到的。 我常常问自己，为什么神会忍受我那漫长的二十五年的悖逆、自私的生活，然后才呼召我回家？当有一天我与主面对面之时，我肯定会问个清楚。目前，我最好的猜测，就是我需要经歴那么多年的悖逆生涯，才能充分体验到神的大爱。
我希望我的故事可以成为他人的鼓励和警戒。 若你正在寻求真理，我祈求我的经历能给你信心到神那里，他会无条件地欢迎你像欢迎我一样。若你是已经接受了主恩典的人，我祈祷我的故事能使你更加珍惜他赐给你的恩典，使您更致力于侍奉我们这位充满怜悯和恩典的神。
