Publisher's Synopsis
There was a miserable Vietnamese born in the beginning of the Second World War, grown up during the French colonial war renewed all over his miserable country, and terminated right at the end of the American anti-communist war in South East Asia -April that 1975 miserable year. Forty years ago today, he was really made stateless inside his country of birth -country of origin as per official papers at the UNHCR's Galang Refugee Camp in Indonesia. April 1990, he came there an Asylum Seeker, neither a prima facie nor a bona fide Refugee. He now wished he could then not have declared 'No citizenship - Viet ethnic origin'.By then he had already given up the Viet-nam of both the late Republic and the Socialist regime. Sort of bat that birds would not recognise as of their species, neither could rats as of theirs! So many generations of the Viet People had been wasted away that their four-thousand-year heritage was also gone -remaining merely on the papers. Moved now to be moving on, he used to recall it has really been so painful and grievous such experiences, for all sides of the war. However he definitely chose, was and is quite happy with, that position -in order to try living up his people's legacy to no avail actually.On the other hand, over three decades on the way of sojourners, from Vietnam to Indonesia then Australia to North America, he has also been quite happy he could have comprehended how come that four out of five Children of Israel still are in their Diaspora -almost seventy years after the State of Israel had been established: The tiny speck of dust has gone off the ground with the wind all the way backward, from the Vietnamese miseries through the Jewish tragedy to the Ancient Hebrew Sojourners -whose Peaceful and Happy and Prosperous WAY OF LIFE had been scripturally recognised for Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph. No such recognition was recorded for Jacob the usurper, later renamed Israel the struggler explicitly against God and men -prevailing both: The Hebrew Way of Sojourners was replaced by the Israelite Way of Conquerors / Invaders / Terminators / Dominators ... -thus causing all sorts of war and tragedy and destruction ... up until nowadays.The Hebrews' unique spirituality revealed him their unique Creator namely YHVH that has never been ever taught of before: He has ever since studied of, walked on, and testified to the Sojourners' Way. Alone on The Way deserted ages ago, the modern sojourner is sharing his studies and experimentation throughout the present day wild world of tensions and conflicts and wars ... from Eastern Europe and the Middle East to Far East Asia and the Pacific ... that 'Faith Not Alone' shall help eradicate all sorts of radicalism, religious radicalism in particular -the very source of violence and evil: Seed of tares had been sown, roots of evil and violence have been grown, and large branches of powers are shadowing all over our present day world and humankind.This writing is purported to clarify his 'Not-Alone Faith' as WHEAT quite different from all sorts of TARES which have traditionally been accepted and treasured 'By Faith Alone'.
