“Our Stories, His Stories provides a captivating and insightful look into Singapore’s pioneer generation and how they interact with Christianity. I have used Koh Nam Seng’s dissertation, from which the book is based, since 2016; every year, students share how they are literally brought to tears by the stories shared as they reflect the trials, challenges, and God’s redeeming work in their own families’ stories. The book adds a significant and personal dimension as Koh now integrates the dissertation with his own life journey..”

“This is a long-awaited book for those who are keen to share the Gospel with their elders. I have learnt and enjoyed reading the stories and listening to the songs in this book. You will find this book an insightful reading.”

“The compelling life stories of the Chinese seniors and their journey to follow Christ aptly elucidate the need for sensitivities in the sociocultural characteristics that define the seniors. This book is a must-read especially for those serving the senior ministry in Singapore and beyond.”

“Forest’s desire is to help us first of all understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the elderly. Then, to explore effective ways in which “downstream” children can share the good news of Jesus Christ with “upstream” parents and grandparents. As one will quickly notice, Forest’s book is not written merely from a theoretical perspective, rather Forest has written out of his own family experience of bringing elderly family members to the Christian faith and many years of serving in pastoral ministry. Thus, I am confident readers will greatly benefit from Forest’s insights and experience.”
