Roger Lam thought he was done with writing after pouring 46 years’ worth of his life lessons into his first book, Lost and Found: Money vs. Riches. That was almost certainly the case until multimedia messages from God led him to liquidate his entire equity portfolio in early February 2018, followed by an unbelievably supernatural confirmation the following morning. Immediately, deep in Roger Lam’s heart he knew this was a story that had to be told for the glory of God, but little did he know that this dramatic conclusion to his pledge for church premises pales in comparison to what God had planned ahead for him in the rest of 2018.
Lose to Find: Change of Control reads like a Christ follower’s diary of wrestling with surrender. Despite constantly feeling like the most unlikely spokesperson and champion for stewardship and generosity, it became clear to Roger Lam that God was not satisfied to leave the other areas of his life besides money remaining in his control--his vocation, safety and purpose. Continuing in the same authenticity and conversational tone for which readers around the world have shown appreciation in his first book, Roger Lam humorously shares his continued God-ordained spiritual transformation, going beyond the area of money which (he thought) he had already mastered. This new leg of his Spirit-filled journey entails unimaginable, interlinked supernatural adventures starting in Hong Kong, followed by divine appointments in Beijing, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, South India, Shanghai and Washington D.C. all within a calendar year.
An excellent and gripping book. In this sequel, Roger shared further personal stories, once again with utmost authenticity and transparency. What would you do if you have the privilege to hear God clearly? Roger has chosen a path to let go; and to trust and obey God instead. His courage, faithfulness and servant leadership is a role model for all of us to follow. Roger mastered the ability to intertwine his everyday stories with biblical teachings. Whether you read this book from cover to cover in one long breadth, or you read bitesize stories through multiple sessions, you will enjoy it and reflect on it for sure. May you be blessed and encouraged by this book. Let the journey begin!
Enjoyed reading more of Roger’s story in this book. It is heavier than the first one Lost and Found but there is a certain excitement when this book lets you discover deeper what God can do in a person’s life in relation to the issue of money. I recommend people in all situations, wether they are in lack or abundance, to read. We always hear a voice ‘believe it or not?’ often in cynical ways, but this is a false misconception when we believe in fatetism or randomness. Roger’s real story points you to the real belief in God and in a big way.
