by Jerry Bridges (Author)
Gift from a devoted christian friend. This is a great book because it also has study guide etc. which is absolutely great for someone like me, who is still a wanderer in the world...
I hope that this book can guide me to take the Alpha course and get my foundation "built".
Many Thankyou.

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?
by Philip Yancey (Author)
I was so blessed, to be the 1st one to have the opportunity to read this book from the library as soon as it's available. It's written so great, words flowing really smoothly, I read the first 2 chapters in NO TIME at all! It led me to some understandings and to look at things in different point of views.
e.g.
1) Do we make plans and ask for God's approval? i.e. You are treating yourself greater than God Almighty Himself?
2) Look at things in God's perspective
3) How to be a servant
4) How to be grateful to all things and count our blessings
...
Still hadn't finish the book, will keep on reading once there's another chance.

I first came across this person was in the movie "Walk the line".
There seems to be a lot of pressure built up in his life but by keeping
close to God, he recovered, whether it's solely that I don't know and
I won't know, but surely it's an interesting biography to read about.

Ivan Noble
This is an interesting book, Ivan was really young (I couldn't remeber 32 or 34 when he diagnosed
brain cancer and in the same week, he was told his wife was pregnant.)
After 869 days, he died.
He wrote this as a diary format, which was quite interesting to read.
BBC has setup a memorial page for him.

Chasing Daylight
I first read this in April 2007 and finally completed it 29Aug.
This is a great book by itself. It talked about how a man felt having only ~100 days left to spend. It was sad that he didn't realise that he spent to little time with friends and family until after the diagnose which was already too late.
It carried 2 perpectives:
1 - Dying man's point of view
2 - Wife beside dying husband point of view
I was greatly moved by the following phrases:
- "Things don't go according to plan"
- "I was learning to accept. I had to accept. I had no recourse but to accept"
- "It was at the clinic that I really began to understand acceptance. To accept acceptance, if you will"
- "You cannot control everything"
- Later, my brother and I talked alone. He was angry - not to me, but at life ... "Your anger won't do anyone any good"
Wife: - When I asked him if he would like me to hold his hand through the night he said "If it would not tire you too much"
We lay in separate beds .... and I held his hand through the night.
"There is no death! What seems so is TRANSITION;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call DEATH"
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
