Terang Allah di tengah kegelapan
“I am deeply touched by each sentence that I read in this book. For someone with schizoaffective disorder who is being treated with psychotic medication, it is never easy to summarize the whole process of his life into a wonderful, epic book that truly blesses its readers. In brother Jeffrey’s encounter with Christ, all the symptoms of the mental disorder that he experiences are processed and continually being perfected. Brother Jeffery continues to struggle and to be sustained in victory. He is transformed, instead of just doing nothing about his condition. With the blessing of extraordinary intelligence, an eagerness to recover and to be a blessing, the love from those around him, and a thirst for science and the application of psychotherapy techniques that he learned, brother Jeffrey is able to flap his wings to become a beautiful butterfly that inspires many people. This book will be an inspiration for the clients in the Rehabilitation Center that we serve, for their families, for the caregivers who serve people with mental disorder, for psychology and theology students, or for everyone who is interested in mental health ministry. Congratulations, brother Jeffrey! Thank you for fighting and sharing with us the weaknesses and the vulnerability that you experience. Thank you for not dwelling in weakness, and for announcing victory instead in every process of recovery. Through Jeffrey’s encounter with Christ, every scar from his wounded heart has been transformed and expressed as an inspiring written work.”

Another amazingly inspiring work of Jeffrey Lim who experienced bipolar mood disorder. In his suffering, Jeffrey has struggled toward recovery and has gained a deeper knowledge of the Lord, whose existence and power he trusts. Jeffrey has also been quite open in accepting the reality of his condition so that he was able to change his paradigm. He also attempts to learn more about the disorder he suffers from various books and media in order to overcome his difficulties through each grace that the Lord provides. This book truly strengthens our faith through its message: everything that happens in this life will bring about good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).”
