A Guy's Guide to Life by Jason Boyett

A Guy’s Guide to Life by Jason Boyett is about a guide for teenagers to become real men in today’s world. The book focuses not only on physical but mental as well. From communication, dressing, relationship to soul. An interesting, direct to the point, easy understand English books for every single teenagers.

Even though I am not a teenager anymore but I found that this book is a book that every teenagers must read. Especially in today’s chaos world. Jason bust the manly myths, teach teenagers how to handle peer pressure, how to communicate well and the most important issue – sex before marriage which abortion case is getting serious.

The book emphasize on the hot teenagers issues. Jason points out the issues and give strong explanation why with proper actions recommended to teenagers in order to solve those issues. I wish I could get this book when I was a teenager. The book even has images to show teenagers how to dress like men (how to tie a tie)! I will get the books to all my cousins. :)

Searching for God knows What

Searching for God knows What

Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller shows us a fresh perspective on the Bible. Donald Miller shows us that Christianity is having a relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than follow formulas. Donald Miller uses his trademark writing style, he shows that relationship with God is God’s way of leading us to redemption.

I find this book is interesting and open my mind. As the book tells us, relationship with God is the most important thing leads us to redemption. After reading the book, I realized I was too focus on the formulas, e.g what we can’t do, what we can do. What rules we should follow, what rules we shouldn’t follow. Even argue with other Christians.

I read a lot of Christianity books, I have a lot of knowledge about Christianity but it doesn’t mean that I have good relationship with God. The more knowledge I have, the more arrogant I will be. Thanks Miller for the book, it is a wake up call for me.

Evil, pain and suffering are never far from us. Why does God allow it? Can a loving God allow suffering? Why does God allow suffering? How do we reconcile a caring god, a god of power, with a god who allows evil to happen?

* Tragedies and suffering flood the news. Why?
* Evil and pain afflict loved ones, friends and communities. Why does God allow this?
* Suffering seems to leave no one untouched.

People ask why God allows pain in their lives – emotional pain, physical suffering, sadness and loss. They say God must not care, or perhaps he is not powerful.

God allows us to be human, to make choices. He cannot allow human freedom without allowing suffering or humans would be puppets. Much of the evil and pain in the world is human evil, humanly-caused pain, the result of human sin. Continue Reading »

The world is getting chaos…

Earthquake is getting frequent…

Human trafficking is getting worse…

Human attitude is getting worse…

These are the facts that Book of Revelation tells us in the Bible, before Jesus comes, the world will be getting worse…. And yes, the world is getting worse.

But the question we should ask if the world is getting worse. The question we should ask is – “What are we doing now?”

Are we:
- still working hard for money?
- still working hard for your big houses?
- still working hard for your fast cars?
- still doubting about Jesus Christ if He is the Savior?
- still doubting if God really does exist?
- still committing sin?
- still living in lifestyle that you lived before becoming Christians?
- still not going to church?
- still not serving God?

Jesus is coming, what we are doing right now. We should bear the responsibilities when the Judgment Day came. We have to answer God what we have done for Him, even we know enough a lot of warnings to show us Jesus Christ is coming.
