On my journey to discover Christianity, I think the part that contributes most to my faith in Christ is through books. When I read, I get the chance to make the decisions on my own pace. When I listen to someone telling me about the faith, I tend to clamp up with fears that the other person is trying too hard to get me over to their side.
So, if you are searching for the meaning of life and wish to explore God’s grace more, do look around for books that will strengthen your faith. Gain from all the stories others shared and look within your heart to find the answers if Christianity is for you. You will always feel the ‘pull’ when the time is right.
Sometimes, you don’t need to just stick to books that reek of ‘officialdom’. For example, find a book that is inspiring and deals with our everyday life. A book about God’s love is one of them. It tells of the story of an ex-sex offender who wasn’t neglected by God even though her crime is considered serious in our eyes. Find out what has made this woman, Frances D. Munson transformed into a person who praises God and yet, are not bashful to share what tumultuous life she had gone through.
We humans are such funny creatures. When we hear or read about someone who didn’t do too well, compared to us, we tend to get more interested. We want to find out what change that person to be what they are now. I guess this book will provide us that part of the story.

Hi, my name is Timothy Tang and I have just completed the book, “Real answers to The Meaning of Life and finding Happiness”.
Many people feel that the interpretation to The Meaning of Life question is too subjective to have any definite objective answer but I have managed to formulate a real and objective answer to the ultimate question of human existence.
I have made a blog that introduces the book. Do check it out.
