Bonus: Book Report

Following Jesus Without Dishonoring Your Parents is a great book for Asian American Christians who seek to understand how their Asian heritage and their American culture can fit with their Christian values. The first six chapters are excellent and deal with the Confucian roots of many Asian cultures versus the individualistic roots of Western society. They deal with honoring parents, performance pressures, and self-understanding.

The second half of the book is less helpful, mostly because the authors come from an evangelical, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship perspective. For instance, they advocate a role of leadership for women in the church that is not Biblical.

Overall, the first part of the book is recommended for anyone who seeks to understand the issues unique to Asian-American Christians. Read the second half with Berean discernment.

A couple more book reports will be forthcoming...
