One day in church, a young man came up to me and asked a question:"Elder, I heard you wrote a book in Korean. What kind of book is it?"(‘The Silence of God and the Fallen Leaves’ 2019 Wheat Grain Press (CLC Korea)‘In the Stormy Sea’ 2022 Wheat Grain Press (CLC Korea))“Yes, the main purpose of these books is to show people who are in tribulation and suffering, the path to comfort and hope found in God.""Elder, do you have any translated into English? I really need them."Ever since that evening, I kept hearing that young man's voice saying, "Do you have any translated into English? I really need them."That's when I realized: I wrote this book in Korean, for Korean people, but there are many people who need it here in the United States, too.So, by the grace of God, I wrote diligently day and night, based off of my previous two books. But the problem was, I had no way to translate it into English. Many years ago, while serving in the military in Korea, I had an accident that seriously damaged my hearing. Even when I came to the United States, I could barely converse in English due to hearing loss, and could only read and write basic English. When I contacted a translation expert, the cost was way beyond my expectations.For several months, I worked hard trying to find a way to translate it at a smaller cost. But in the end, I felt like I was going beyond my means. I was so exhausted and ready to give up.Until one day in February 2023, I prayed to God in my early morning prayer time.“Lord, I tried to publish this book because I thought it would help many people in despair in this land, but there is no way to translate it. There is no way to cover the translation cost, and there is no way to find someone willing to help at a small cost. I feel like it is going beyond my means and I'm about to give up, so please help me.'As I prayed this prayer, a voice quietly spoke in my heart."You do it!"A 72-year-old man who can barely read and write basic everyday English, and barely converse in English due to hearing loss, invested 5 to 6 hours a day, relying on several translation devices. Without anyone's help, looking only at God, the translation was completed in just 6 months. Can you believe I finished this book? Moreover, this book was created miraculously through the grace given by God. Even at this very moment, the commonality of countless people who are dying alone is ‘there is no hope.’ They are giving up on life because they cannot find ‘the meaning of living.’ ‘If they can see hope’ and ‘if they can find meaning to live’, precious lives can be saved. Here is the precious sound of life.Only God the Holy Spirit can pour that on us. Our Christian faith is not philosophy, academics, or anything theoretical or abstract. It is a religion of miracles that must be achieved and applied concretely and practically in our real lives at this time.You are now seeing a miracle from God. Now ask Almighty God for a miracle, and become deeply immersed in His grace and change the world.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
