South Korea 1997 - 2013 - Thomas Norton - Bog

The purpose of this book is to present South Korea in a small way. The Reverend Thomas G. Norton spent much time over more than fifteen years in South Korea and had many involvements. The first part of this book will describe many of his experiences and adventures in the mission field and in churches and communities throughout South Korea. He does this through interesting and informative ways. The culture and customs are often unusual and frequently comical for Westerners in this land of the "Morning Calm" as it is called. Koreans' thinking and actions are often opposite to those of Westerners. His depictions of these differences, the people, and its evolution are descriptive and vivid. The second part of the book is a collection of his sermons delivered mostly at the Shin Kwang Church () in Seong Nam (), a city adjacent to Seoul (), the capital of South Korea (). He also worked and preached at the Yang Dong Jee Ill Church () in Mokpo (). Also included in this book are about fifty full page color pictures. Norton has spoken and delivered sermons in many other parts of South Korea. His sermons speak directly or indirectly to Koreans and their situations, but also they speak to all people of the world.
