i love my life
title: taming the tigerauthor: tony anthonyhow i got it: i "took" it from daddypastor chan gave that book to daddy. the title somehow sounds weird. so i decided to read a few pages. i thought just like any other "not-my-type" (books that i hardly will be interested to finish) book i will just put it aside after a few pages of intro. and it will b in one corner till daddy reads it o it end up in the mini library. buthen somehow after a few pages i am still reading. after few chapters i am still reading.
tony anthony have a chinese mummy and italian daddy. his dad is sick with some weird dieases not long after he is born. so he is kinda lack of love. then at 4, he is "transported" to china. where his grandfather is a big respected fella and a direct descendant from a Shaolin kung fu monk. something like that. so at 4, poor lil tony have to undergo mean i meant MEAN STRICT training that i usually watched on tv. which i tot onli happens to ppl at those time and to make the movie more interesting. so i got more and more curious about the book. he was trained till 12. strict, mean and fatal training. he trained with scorpions and tiger that could have killed him but he survived lar. duh.
then tony is a strong muscular guy. expected lar. he won competitions and did stuff that made his "Lowsi" (means teacher) which is his grandpa. he earned a respect and he is proud of it. then he got into the body guard field when he grew older. like tv. his life then really caught my attention the actually FINISH the book. he met the girl and the girl died in some crash. so he became violent. which is scary coz he is like 3 time world kung-fu champion. then he went a debt collector, beating a crap out of ppl,stealing for money coz his dad need money for treatment.he was having great deal of anger, rage and bloodthirsty. that ended him in the most mean people prison. he is stuck and transformed there. he struggled to accept bcoz of his past evil man that he was made him thought tat he was not worthy to accept the Lord. then he was told that none will b condemn when they accept Christ. bcoz all is the same in God's eye. err something like that. not very sure of the exact words.then he became a christian and brought many more to Christ. in a mean ppl prison, the ppl there are mean of the meanest, yet he got them to accept Christ. then he got out.
changed man. he became more passionate for Christ. then he met his wife, Sara. he got a good job, better pay as time pass. he continue serving but he said in his agenda.i like the fact that he admits he is serving in his strength in God's ministry. as time goes by leaders serve more and more they begin to use their wisdom and strength to serve.so its great that he wrote the thinking of his in the book. then he got into an accident. he tot he hit an animal. so he got down and see but he found nothing.so he just went off. then later on onli he realise he killed a woman in that accident. he prayed that God will save him but its not God's will. with court and police and bla bla bla. he went back into the prison. he just wanna keep quiet about God coz he is ashamed. after so much that God done, a lil thing went wrong he ended back in prison. buthen onli he realise God can use him now when he is inside. weak and dependant on God. then he brought more to Christ. yeay. he redirect his serving. God is perfect. he told Nigel (a friend in the prison) tis story which i love a lot. tony said....
a man was travelling in the sea. then the ship wrecked and he is stranded in a deserted island. then he questioned God. he asked ," God, if u are real why u leave me here?". he then built a hut in that island. one day he went off to find some food for himself. and the sunlight burned his hut, his last hope. then he asked God again "God, why would u do this to me?". then the next day he was found. he asked the sailor "how u found me?". the sailor said "i saw ur smoke signal." then he told Nigel. God's expression of love might b mistaken by hatred. ppl might not understand. coz He works in His way.
i just lurve that book. i believe that book will help me to grow spiritually. yeay. good start for a new year.i am promoting that book right now. so get one and read it k?
tony just fascinate me with the way he explain about Christ. how can i have excuse now to not share about Christ when tony did it everywhere. the wisdom that God given to tony just amuses me.
