A customer who loves my recordings approached me some time ago and asked me to record the book their son had written. I’m a little leery of books written by young people, so I asked for a review copy of the book, which was gladly provided.
I’ll never be leery of books written by young people again. In this case, the “young person” was approaching his 30th birthday, which was the biggest goal of his life. The story of Min Soo, told by himself, was amazing. I have a special needs brother, Philip, who turned 60 last year. He is unable to formulate words and is completely dependent on the world to care for him. He couldn’t write a book if he wanted to.
Min Soo, on the other hand, can. And boy what a story he has to tell! I’d strongly encourage you get this audiobook and listen to it as a family. It will definitely affect you for the better and will inspire you in your Walk with the Lord, and to seek and find your purpose.
I’ll let his adoptive Dad do the talking from here out.
Orphaned at birth in South Korea, challenged with multiple medical and developmental complications, and not adopted by age three, Min Soo’s hope of finding a home seems lost.
But God chooses a family on the other side of the world who opens their home to this whirlwind of a child. Although Min Soo is dearly loved, his constant challenges tax his adoptive parents to the core.
When he’s old enough to understand, Min Soo wonders if God has a purpose for “a child in a man’s body.” He comes to grips with the multiple obstacles he faces – except one. Then a devastating diagnosis hits! How will Min Soo overcome the impossible? Does God still have a purpose for his broken life? And will God grant him the “most desire” of his heart?
Min Soo accomplished an amazing feat through writing his memoir despite his physical and mental challenges. He wishes this book to be a bridge to his homeland and roots. Min loves talking about vast subject matter, making lists, collecting pencils, playing video games, working with animals, learning about his heritage, and bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
Despite his many physical and mental health struggles, Min Soo’s unique sense of humor shines throughout the pages of A Home for Min Soo: Putting Together the Pieces of My Life, bringing laughter as he and his family relay his numerous antics. And yet, you’ll be moved by the deep truths he shares.
