On July 11, 2007, “Living and Leading with Limitations” was born. Of course, the book was written earlier i.e. during the three-month break after Rev. Wong Kim Kong’s heart bypass operation. It was a welcome break which he utilized to record down God’s goodness to him.
The book launch was held at the Grand Ballroom of Hilton Hotel, Petaling Jaya. The 20 dinner tables were sponsored by Y. B. Datuk Dr. Maximus Ongkili, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department. Besides the mouth-watering Chinese dinner, there was a multimedia presentation on Rev.
Wong’s life and his book, followed by his speech and the Minister’s speech before the official ribbon cutting. Rev. Wong in his speech gave credit to those who had helped him in life and in the writing of the book. He said that in a moment of inspiration he got the idea of the three L’s i.e. living, leading and limitations used in the title of the book. He jokingly said that he hoped nobody would add another L, calling it a lousy book! Datuk Maximus kept his speech short and sweet but made the interesting assertion that it’s not a lousy book, but a lasting book.
Rev. Wong then gave away 210 books (7 packets) each to three social work organizations – Malaysian CARE, Harvest Centre and a disabled group – for them to distribute. The books were sponsored by a Christian brother.
It is hoped that Rev. Wong’s book will touch many, both Christians and non-Christians. The book is available at all leading Christian bookstores at RM28 each. |
