As its title suggests, “My Life, My Faith” by Rev. Jaerok Lee (The Christian Press), evokes the faith of readers.
The life of Lee, a pastor at Manmin Central Church in Seoul, is really a challenge to many who are undergoing trials, tribulations and sickness. This book helps us to lay the foundation of faith in our savior. It teaches us how a true Christian should lead a life, focusing on three vital parts of Christianity — prayer, the word of God and offering.
Lee is not only a preacher but also practices what he preaches. His nature is clearly explained in every page. In this book the reader gets a clear idea about God as the Jehovah Rapah (the healer) and Jehovah Jireh (the provider). I strongly believe that his testimony will revive many broken souls.
Each and every chapter in the book gives us a clear insight of how God intervenes in a person’s life to give him a blessing. From his sick bed our Lord gave him life to stand for him. When everyone abandoned Lee our sweet Lord embraced him and changed him as a source of blessing to many in the similar situation.
Our Lord not only cleansed and healed him but also called him to be an ambassador of God in the Heavenly Kingdom. The trials he faced after accepting the Lord are innumerous. But he endured all the sufferings and pain with the grace from God.
His life teaches us to lead a disciplined Christian life. His nature led many to Christianity, including his family members. Two important natures in which God cares for everyone are clearly seen in Lee’s book with faithfulness and truthfulness given to the Lord. As we read this book, we learn how obedience and complete devotion can bear fruit spiritually and materially.
