What you will gain after the course

  • Practicing deep spiritual meditation by expressing Bible verses through Han-si (classical Chinese poetry)

  • The ability to discover reasons for gratitude amidst the trials and deficiencies of daily life

  • Direction of life after retirement and restoration of inner peace

Author Ryu In's poetry collection, "The Path of Faith (以信而行)," is a compilation of works that express inspirations gained through early morning prayer and meditation in the form of classical Chinese poetry (Hansi), written as the author enters the second act of life after 40 years of intense professional career.

Drawing on the expertise gained from translating over 1,000 Chinese poems based on his experience working at Samsung Electronics' factory in China, the author has reshaped deeply spiritual insights realized in daily life into five-character and seven-character Chinese poems. This book is organized into four parts: Part 1 covers the process of repentance and finding a new path; Part 2 reflects on the path Jesus walked; Part 3 deals with the history and providence within the Bible; and Part 4 presents the way of living by faith through the lives of Elijah and Elisha.

Blending classical forms with a modern sensibility, this collection of poems is a memoir written by the author as they reach the twilight of their life, reflecting on their journey before God and meditating on His providence. It will offer deep resonance and comfort to readers seeking spiritual reflection amidst their busy daily lives, serving as a precious guide for those striving to protect their lives through faith.
