How does a devout Buddhist, considered by monks to be a living reincarnation of a Buddha, end up completely transformed by Jesus Christ? In this raw and powerful testimony, Jonnathan Zin Truong shares his incredible journey from hopeless depression, alcoholism, and the brink of suicide to a radical encounter with the living God.
If you are struggling with a dysfunctional family, feeling like a failure, or searching for answers in life, this story is proof that God knows exactly where you are and will chase you down to save you. No matter how far away you feel, the love, kindness, and power of Jesus can change everything in a single moment.
