This fascinating book is written by young Asians who have encountered Jesus Christ and are devoted to serving Him, but who also struggle with the desire to honor their parents and their cultures.
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 conflicting values. |
