Chasing God is Roger Huang's gritty, heartfelt story of obedience to God's call to follow Him into the heart of the city. That mission can inspire you! Leaving behind his abusive home in Taiwan, Roger discovered both the American Dream and his French bride, Maite. A dramatic event took place before his very eyes and prompted Roger to rethink his future and his calling. As a couple, Roger and Maite chose not to ignore the plight of the poor and homeless in San Francisco's most impoverished district, the Tenderloin. Since founding City Impact, Roger has led many in discovering the power of prayer, fasting, and serving hands-on in a community starved for hope. Chasing God is a testimony to God's miraculous provision and will challenge you to consider how to serve and care for your own city and community.

Susanna is a storyteller and loves making people laugh. Laughing is her favorite. She graduated from Bethany University with a BA in Social Science emphasizing psychology and early childhood education. She and her hilarious husband, Scott, (he paid her to say that) have three giant teenage boys. They are the joy of her life (when they are not trying to scare or tickle her.) After the birth of their first son, Susanna decided to stay home as a full-time mom and follow her passion of writing. She loves connecting with her readers and hearing the stories of how Jesus has turned their lives inside out for the better. For fun, she likes to eat chocolate, read lots of fiction and drink coffee with her girlfriends.

Inspiring book about trusting God and living unselfishly among the poor of San Francisco

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2014

Verified Purchase

I love autobiographies and this true story tells how a young boy, who was abused, hurt and damaged by his parents, finds the love of a woman and the love of God, which heals his empty, broken heart and fills his loneliness. But when he sees other suffering children he wants to help them.
The story of his small beginning, just handing out sandwiches with prayer on the streets, to the huge ministry it is today, feeding thousands of families daily with the help of thousands of volunteers, is just awe-inspiring. It helps us trust more, pray more, care more, give more and love more.

Want a part of the Tenderloin?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2015

It is 1983 and Roger has just landed a job at Parc 55, a brand new hotel on the edge of one of San Francisco's slum areas. His car breaks down and as he waits, Roger sees a boy being bullied whom he ignores. It is not long before God speaks to him.

We are then taken back to 1966 in Taipei where Roger is a young boy, naked and afraid, bearing the marks of his father's nightly anger. Even when the family moves to San Francisco in 1971, Roger is still being beaten daily. Finally in 1973, Roger who is now 17, faces his father and says "No" and leaves home. He finds his first work in a hotel but remains homeless, finding a different place to sleep each night.

When he meets his wife, Maite, he knows she is the one for him. Back to 1983, he is now married with four children (2 from Maite's previous marriage) and working 2 jobs. Read how God gets a hold of their lives and really speaks to Roger about the Tenderloin district. His ministry starts with him walking the streets handing out bologna sandwiches. That is followed by the whole family joining him and starting to minister to the "forgotten" children of this area.

The Tenderloin has approx. 500 high rises in one square mile with an estimated population of 40,000. Read this incredible story of how God has used Roger, his family and many, many others to reach these people for Jesus Christ. It has not been easy but they have persevered and God has blessed. It is not only encouraging to see how God has worked through them but also to read how Roger and Maite have worked and loved together as a married couple. They have always been there for each other and Roger's love for his wife as he writes is very evident.

Due to writing as if in the present, this book doesn't always flow that well due to the tense changes BUT that should not put you off. This is a book VERY well worth reading! INCREDIBLE!

The Art of Steering

Inspiring!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2013

Huang tells the story of his work for Jesus in San Francisco. Writing with openness and humility, Huang gives us the impression of a man who was almost pushed into this work amongst the poor in the Tenderloin district of the city. Yet as he chose to embrace this responsibility, alongside his family, God began to do many incredible things. Huang is clear about the central role of prayer and fasting in seeing all that he and his family have achieved come to fruition. If you are looking for the kind of book which will inspire your faith and remind you of the kind of things that God is already doing in the Western world, then you will enjoy this book.

I received a free e-copy of this book from NetGalley in return for a fair review.
