Tan, Lai Yong. Waiting for Growth : devotions from Old Testament Poetry. [242.2 TAN]

“Lai Yong has taken the path less traveled and we have much to learn from him. How do we know that a well has good water? Why is it dangerous for a leper to walk too soon? The meditations are life-based, heart-touching and mind-unsettling. “As a missionary doctor, I cry much more with my patients.” Readers will not only see what he sees, but feel his love for the people and cry with him. Perhaps,as we pause and shed tears, growth will come.” – Rev Dr David Wong
