Below is my journey in writing 'Pain In An Answered Prayer', my first autobiography book.
Wow!Praise God it's finally out! My autobiography book inspired by God entitled 'Pain In An Answered Prayer' is finally published! I received it on 3 Nov 2010. Yay! and double yay!I'm so overjoyed and thrilled! Can't believe it, it's been 3 years writing and rewriting the book engagingly.Thank God for His strength and grace which enabled me to persevere.
The purpose of me writing this book was to obey God's calling and leading to write it.He was the one who inspired, mandated me to write and used it to reach out to those suffering from the same medical condition as me for His glory and the extension of His kingdom.That also means it's God's book and not my book as it was His inspiration that I wrote this book.
I started writing this book in May 2006.The 3 years journey of writing has been incredibly tough and challenging but at the end was fulfilling and rewarding. I faced many obstacles, hindrances and discouragement during those years (2006-2009) when I was writing it. I fell ill, struggled to cope with my full time job at a legal firm and serving as a secretary in Hospital Visitation Ministry, SIBKL. Initially, I didnt get the moral and financial support from my family members as they objected but after much prayer and discussion with my mum and oldest sister they understood my reason for writing and agreed to allow me to continue writing and supported me in encouraging me. The best part is my mum also contributed her testimony in the book. Many times I felt like giving up and told God I couldn't go on writing it, so very tough but God just reaffirmed, encouraged me and said "My child, you can do it, you can, go on with it".
I also want to thank God for my close Christian friends, my ministry leader, my cell leader and close cell members and Hospital Visitation Ministry friends, my former youth pastor of FGT who encouraged me and some prayed for my writing of the book. It was also through them that impacted my life and played a significant part in my perseverance and determination in writing the book to completion. I thank God for all of them.
This book is priced at RM20.
20% of the proceeds will go to the 'Thalassaemia Friends Support Fund' where the money will be used for
1.The translation and printing cost for 'Pain In An Answered Prayer' into Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia. 2. The cost of photocopying for the 'Guidelines in Management of Thalassaemia' for Thalassaemia patients.
I visit the Thalassaemia patients at Hospital Ampang every week and every 2-3 weeks at UMMC to pray and share God's love with them.
Prayer of Dedication:
I pray and dedicate this book to God. I pray that His purpose and glory will be achieved through this book which I've written. I pray the readers will find hope, peace, strength, realization of God's love for them, a discovery of His purpose for their life, the reason they've been created & most importantly a conviction in their spirit to want to receive Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
