A sincere life experience sharing from a Catholic
As a lay Catholic, in this book Cindy Yuen Chan asks the question: how one can learn to be more forgiving?
Starting from reflecting on her own faults and herself as being an offender, Cindy shares how Catholic teachings brought more forgiveness into her life and helps her to live a grateful life. This book shares her insights while exploring how forgiveness relates to salvation, empathy and justice.
The narrative message of this book is healing, in which Cindy uses examples showing how God healed His followers, from a hurt student to family members of murdered victims. The aim is to provoke readers’ thoughts and analyzing recollections of own experiences of being forgiven or forgiving; and receiving kindness from God and others.
The backbone of forgiveness is ….
It is our choice ….
When the Cock Crows for the Second Time is worth reading; not only to Catholics and Christians, but also people who do not yet know Jesus.
The book was granted an imprimatur from Most Rev. Michael Yeung, Bishop of HK in March 2018.
