A writing memoir looks like telling a story. But it is difficult to talk about oneself! How to tell honestly what you did experience is not easy. I have read a lot of memoirs but rarely their honest truth are! But pastor Nguyen Van Hue‘s memoir is different from the others. If you read it, you will see that!
Those who join in the literature, politics field, often have many stories to tell. But I think the life of a pastor is extremely limited, it can be very monotonous and boring. But reading Mr. Hue’s memoir, that opinion will change. Perhaps God wants he did experience harsh trials, as Paul in the Acts of the Apostles. Then, he could tell us something interesting.
This memoir is not a literary novel with details and colors. It is very simple. However, it will draw readers into each special detail. Hopefully, a lot of evidence in this memoir will be a living document.
It is difficult to fight against the power of darkness. Pastor Nguyen Van Hue fought with invisible dark forces, and he has won. Is he is a man of great talent? No. Praise the Lord! God has inspired strength to His servant. The Word of God is the Word of life. God has opened the way for him through Word. Therefore, pastor Hue life is very vital. Following the Lord with a vital faith is a success. May God bless him and his ministry so that he could tell us his experience. If Dr. Luke did not rewrite the Acts of the Apostles, we wouldn’t know the hardships of those who take the cross following Christ.
Vietnamese people know Le Mong Nguyen with a famous song “Who comes to the land of peach-blossom.” That song has drawn many people, including me dreaming to Dalat. Peach-blossom in Dalat has gone into literature and art. But its trunk is slender and scabrous. Especially in Winter, it almost is dry death. But the end of Winter, the flowers sprouts open. How beautiful peach-blossom! The same to Pastor Nguyen Van Hue when he began serving the Lord in Dalat. He was taken in prison as well as peach-blossom trees in Winter. But now, churches have been established in the home country through the program Building The Church in Vietnam which he has done. Peach-blossom flowers are blooming in Spring!
Praise the Lord! God certainly will increase grace for Pastor Nguyen Van Hue, who has got clear visions for Vietnamese people.
