“Man of Flesh, Man of Spirit” by Rev. Lee Jae-rock

By Kwon Ji-youn

A series of books authored by international theologian Rev. Lee Jae-rock has been published in seven different languages.

The series, titled “Man of Flesh, Man of Spirit” (Vol. 1 and 2), is a compilation of Rev. Lee’s sermons on the Book of Job and will be published in both Korean and English, as well as Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French and Indonesian. The Korean version of Volume 1 was first printed in April 2007, and Volume 2, in Sept. 2007.

Prof. Kim Byung-jong of Seoul National University has endorsed the book. Kim teaches oriental painting at the university, and his work was presented to the Chinese president Xi Jin Ping during his visit to Seoul on July 4.

“Through this magnificent drama about the Book of Job, I have come to understand that the ultimate goal of Rev. Lee Jae-rock’s ministry of healing of the body and spirit he dreams is to lead as many people to the kingdom of heaven,” Kim wrote in his endorsement.

“Now I am glad to see this powerful work that can awaken many people from their spiritual slumber, and wish to share this great joy with as many Christians at home and outdoors.”

Rev. Lee, senior pastor of the Manmin Central Church in Seoul, is currently chairman of the United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ and permanent president of the World Christianity Revival Mission Association. In 2009 and 2010, he was named to the list of Top 10 Influential Christian Leaders by the Christian Telegraph, a Christian portal site. His book can be purchased through Amazon.
