Books About FAITH

 LIVING BY FAITH IS LIVING IN WISDOM by Stephen Lau

There are different ways of living: by wants, by personality, by examples, by conscience, and by faith

The book shows you with real-life examples how the different ways of living may or may not work for you. Living your life has everything to do with your thinking mind, which is controlled by your own life experiences in different phases of your life. Your thinking creates your perceptions and your realities. So, you need human wisdom to help you understand what are absolute truths, half truths, and myths--that is, separating the sheep from the goats. But sometimes human wisdom is inadequate; you also need spiritual wisdom, and that is where faith plays a pivotal role. Only faith can change and transform you into a new being to do all the right and righteous things.

DISBELIEF AND UNBELIEF by Stephen Lau

We are living in a world of infinite information. Unfortunately, the information available is often biased, distorted, and misinterpreted. So, knowledge does not necessarily give wisdom. 

On your belief journey, which is long and winding with many detours and sidetracks, you need the following:

Your preparation: your intent to believe; your consciousness to believe; your imperfections to believe; and your connectedness to believe.

Your compass: the Bible to belief.

Your roadmap: the Word of God; the Presence of God; your trust and obedience; your penitence and forgiveness; your accountability and living in reality.

YOUR DEATH AND YOUR DESTINATION by Stephen Lau

The book does not focus on "how" you are going to die because it would be "gross" since we are living in a world rampant with natural disasters and physical violence. Instead, the book focuses on the "positive" aspects of your living before you die: WHO you can now become--a person of love and connection with others; HOW you can live longer, if you want to extend your existence; WHAT you can do with yourself before you exit from this world; WHERE you will go when you actually die--somewhere or nowhere.

This book provides you with spiritual wisdom and wise words on your salvation and redemption from sins before your exit from this world.

WHY PRAYERS ARE SELDOM ANSWERED by Stephen Lau

There are many books explaining "why prayers are seldom answered" from the Biblical perspectives. But this book is totally different in that it looks at the same controversial topic from the perspectives of the profound ancient human wisdom--the ancient TAO wisdom from China thousands of years ago. 

This book is not about how you pray, what you pray for, and if you pray at all. It is all about how you live in this world as if you are praying everyday and as if everything is a miracle. 

TAO: THE WAY TO BIBLICAL WISDOM by Stephen Lau

Faith, which is believing in God, is never easy: it requires biblical wisdom, which comes from the Words of God. But understanding His Words is a tall order in this world of disbelief and unbelief--it requires profound human wisdom.  

TAO is the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu, the ancient sage from China, who authored "Tao Te Ching", one of the most translated books in world literature. The book has 81 short chapters, explaining what true human wisdom is. Without your profound human wisdom it is almost to begin your journey of belief and faith.

HOW TO BECOME A BELIEVER by Stephen Lau

This book shows you how and why you should become a believer in order to live in reality. Many in this world are living in self-delusions, burying their heads in the sand. A true believer has his or her accountability to God, and so living in self-righteousness.

Becoming a believer begins with the intent to believe, which is the first-step. As the saying goes: a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first-step, so take your first-step, and God will show you how and where to go next.

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND THE TAO by Nora Wise (Stephen Lau's penname)

The Seven Deadly Sins--pride, envy, lust, wrath, greed, gluttony, and sloth--have their origin from the Bible, even though the Bible does not have any specific reference to them.

This book is about neither God nor the Bible. It is all about the TAO, the ancient wisdom from China more than 2,600 years ago. This book is all about you--"how" you should live and survive in this secular material world. It is your blueprint to live in this world as if everything is a miracle through your self-intuition of all the questions and answers with respect to the Seven Deadly Sins. We all have committed the Seven Deadly Sins in our lives.

This book, giving examples of real people in real life committing the Seven Deadly Sins, may help you avoid them, instead of continuing to indulge and wallow in them.
