Following Jesus Without Dishonoring Your Parents 東方父母西方情 (Traditional Chinese Edition)

在海外的華人家庭中，父母（和祖父母）來自亞洲，帶有東方的文化背景，而子女則受到西方文化的教育和薰陶。因此生活中經常發生「上下代相撞，異文化相衝」的情況，造成新一代年輕人產生各種疑惑和痛苦，例如：我究竟是誰？父母真的愛我嗎？為什麼不信任我？為什麼重男輕女？為什麼一定要讀醫科或法律，而不能讀藝術？ 本書就是要深入探討這些問題，從各個角度帶領您 * 透視東西文化的兩套價值觀 * 認清東方父母的背景和根源 * 了解亞裔子女的壓力和掙扎 * 擁抱雙文化的祝福和獨特性 Go to the right school. Become a doctor or a lawyer. Marry a nice Asian. These are some of the hopes of our Asian parents. Knowing that our parents have sacrificed for us, we want to honor their wishes. But we also want to serve Jesus, and sometimes that can seem to conflict with family expectations. Discovering our Asian identity in the midst of Western culture means learning to bridge these and other conflicting values. We need wise counsel on * our parents' ways of loving us * vocations that show respect for our parents and allow us to serve God * the "model minority" myth and performance pressures * marriage, singleness, and being male and female * racial reconciliation * spirituality and church experiences * unique gifts Asians bring to Western culture
