About the book: 52 Weeks is a book about reflection on the promises of God. Most of our concerns and trials are not solved with a daily verse but require deeper reflection on the words of God. In this book I present topics that we all encounter focusing on the topic for a week as opposed to a daily meditation verse. The intent is to understand how God's words for us encourage and strengthen faith with a week of focused reflection. About the Author: Christianity has not always been part of my life. I was raised by a Japanese mother who was Buddhist. It wasn't until my college years that I discovered Christ. I didn't respond immediately to this discovery as I was focused on education. As a result, I have advanced degrees in medicine. This led me to write multiple scientific and medical papers. Years later I started to question science as being the answer to spiritual side, so I started to research the Bible. I am now a true believer of Jesus and His message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. I don't consider myself a great writer. I write in prose to communicate my own feelings and interpretations of the Word of God. I do however borrow from some of the great thinkers of theology for their insight. So 52 Weeks is not a major theological treatise but a relatively superficial book to share the direct words of the Bible to any age group in understandable speech. God gives us gifts that we use to spread his messgae. My hope is that 52 weeks reaches those who want to seek the truth of the Bible and the message of the lord. I believe that the Lord has helped me to write this book as He has given me to the gift to write. I pray it will bring its readers closer to God. I continue to use this book in my personal life. The words of the Bible will last forever.
