Seven Lessons from Job

Seven Lessons from Job

This is dedicated to Francis Ng. He was a persecutor of my faith in University, then became my friend when he accepted Christ and even to be as close as buddies. In December 2000, during the midst of the Breakthrough 2000 Seminar, we were standing side by side on the first day of the event. Subsequently, the next morning, he had a massive hemorrhage in the head and he passed away shortly at the Subang Medical Hospital. I can never understand why he had to go home to God so early.
