description: This book is structured around 20 frequently asked questions, and is inspired by author Peter Teagle’s experience over 20 years of talking to international students and hearing the questions they commonly ask.Each chapter provides a succinct and helpful answer to students coming from a non-western background. It explores key questions such Is it possible to be a Christian and stay faithful to my culture?, Does being a Christian mean I cannot honour my ancestors?, and Do Christians believe other gods exist? These questions probe some of the profoundest mysteries of life, and are a great credit to those who ask them in their quest for truth.Peter brings to bear in his answers a sensitivity arising from his personal experience of suffering and his bridging of Eastern and Western cultures through his marriage to Lynette, as well as countless conversations with international students.“In this book, you will find answers to frequently asked questions about Jesus and His life-giving power. Some of these may be questions that you have but didn’t know how best to articulate. You will enjoy Peter’s conversational style and engaging real life encounters. No doubt, you will find yourself identifying with many of these stories.” - Yong Yuong Eng, Assistant General Secretary, FES Malaysia."It's such a good read! It's so clear and so concise. It was answering these questions that I didn't even know I had, and just made me more curious to know the answers" - Joylynn, an international student from Malaysia.
