Lam, Irene	李耀全牧師(2003): 全心信箱	信仰的其中一個奧秘在於我們能在生活經歷到神的同在，但卻又未能在現實中親眼看見衪的存在。面對聖經中的教導，基督徒在現實生活中又能實踐多少？於是在信仰與生活磨合中，會產生不少問題，令基督徒陷於疑惑	當你覺得教會聚會沉悶，講道東拉西扯，是否該另覓教會？	當你長時間在同一教會聚會，教會不同焦點和活動對你來說失去吸引力和新鮮感，是很自然的；其實每一次新的循環其實是帶來新的學習機會，正如知識有不同的深淺，真理有不同的層次，經歷有不同的體會。
Fan, Anita	Paul M. Anderson, ed. (1998): Professors who believe	This book includes the stories of twenty-two Christian faculty, who tell readers about their life journey with God. They come from a wide variety of academic disciplines. They write not only about their faith but their experience in thriving in the university world which is often seen as a hothouse of anti-Christian bias.		我們應該不停地成長，教會生活是否沉悶是關乎我們的屬靈的狀況，我們須要由內而外不斷地更新。教會也有責任，不可墨守成規，牧者有責任發掘福音中生命力的奧秘，把它展示給慕道者及跟蹤者。
Lam, Ernest	Neil T. Anderson(2004) 靠真理的靈分辨(Finding God’s Will in Spiritually Deceptive Times)	許多基督徒想明白神對他們未來的計劃。若神覺得仍未是時候讓你知道衪對你的計劃，仿佛把它藏在門的後面，你又為何那麼心急呢難道你想先知道彼後，便決定是否按著這計劃走下去？若你真的想行在神的旨意中，你就必須先解決眼前仍未解決的事。你願意在不知情的情況下遵行神的旨意嗎？因為神就是神，衪就有權決定對你的一切計劃。若我們硬要作主，那麼我們就永遠不會知道衪對我們的計劃了。	明白神旨意的重要先決條件是甚麼？神的旨意中最主要的重點是甚麼？	按耶穌所說，明白神的旨意的先決條件，就是樂意遵行神的旨意。 神的旨意就是要我們效法衪的形象，成為衪創造我們時所期盼的樣子：「神的旨意就是要你們成為聖潔」(帖前四3)
Chan, Agnes	Billy Graham (1953, 1985): Peace With God	There is no peace without God. This book points the way to authentic personal peace in a world in crisis. It first looks at the problems of the human race (sin & death); then surveys God’s plan to help mankind (Christ Jesus); lastly gives the guidelines for a mature Christian living (peace & eternality).	What constitutes sin in the eyes of God?	(1) Sin is lawlessness, the transgression of the law of God such as the Ten Commandments, Sermon of the Mount. (2) Bible describes sin as iniquity – deviation from right with own inner motivations such as evil thoughts, adulteries, etc. (3) Bible defines sin as missing the mark (live up to the life of Christ), falling short of the goal that has been set (4) Sin is a form of trespass – centers entire attention on his own being, regards only his own interests and fights to protect his own rights. (5) Sin is unbelief – rejects the words of God and refuses Christ as Savior.

Lo, Oscar	John Eldredge: Wild at Heart	The Authur explained that how every man has his wild side; how every boy aspires to become dangerous, a fighter, a hero. The authur pointed out 3 universal things that men desire. God ingrained these desires into men when He created them. These desires may be misplaced, forgotten or misdirected, but at the heart of every man is a desparate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescure. Any attempt to tame these desires will result in a lost man. A man without a soul so to say. The author tried to explain how modern day men (especially Christian men) lost these natural desires. And he tried to guide the men readers to rediscover their heart, their inner desires so that they may live the life he and most of all God wanted him to live. And as a result they may live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.	What kind of games do you play with your friends when you were a child? Do you think these gender differences are results of nature or nurturing?	The Author pointed out that God designed men and women to be different.
