Description
A SPIRITUAL PERSON does not write to satisfy his ego. He writes out of a passion to glorify God and to bless others or as a form of extended prayer or dialogue with God and himself.
So it is with Dr Ong Hwee Keng. A scientist by profession, Christian literatura local calling. He has been associated with Asian Beacon, a local Christian magazine, for many years-as chairman, editorial committee member and writer. He has also written devotional materials for Scripture Union Semenanjung Malaysia as well as for an overseas publication. Now, a few of his peers have persuaded him to put together his short stories in a book.
What are these stories about? How were they conceived? No other word is more appropriate than "conceived". For his stories are not only original but they are the product of much struggle and some pain-like that of a woman in labour. They deal with real-life situations and come from his inner- most being, as he goes about his everyday life. These stories include reflections as he indulges in his favourite bak kut teh, as he travels for work-related conferences or on holiday, as he interacts with people at work and in church, as he struggles with personal issues of faith and prayer, stewardship of money and giving, envy and contentment, love and compassion, guilt and self-acceptance, bigotry and forgiveness, justice and racism, the environment and a simple lifestyle, and even as he sleeps and dreams.
