about me

BIO:

Cliff C. Huang holds a Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. Throughout his life, he has served in various functions at different churches, ranging from small community churches to semi-mega churches. During those times, he served primarily as a teacher/discipler in the area of youth and young adult ministry under positions of youth counselor, pastoral intern, prayer coordinator, life community leader, as well as an elder for a young adult congregation.

What he witnessed throughout these experiences is the transformation of Spirituality into traditional religious cliches and liturgical rituals in the modern institutionalized Christianity. This led him to focus his teaching on the reflection of the Biblical text through critical thinking and reasoning. After graduation from GCTS, he decided to relinquish positions and titles and left behind the traditional ministry to be a tentmaking servant, teaching English overseas to children.


BOOKS:
All comments and critiques on my books are appreciated.

- The Anvil of God: A Spiritual Reformation
This book is published and is available at:
Amazon.com in paperback and kindle.

It is a book that combines the feel of a Christian Living genre with critical assessments of theological teaching.

Please read the query for more information.


- Sweet Cheeks (甜美的臉頰)
This is an autobiography of my life 10 years ago with a very special girl, my first love. It is not complete. This is my first attempt in writing a novel, very different than the theology book. Please comment and help me refine the subtle differences.

Please read the query for more information.

READING/BACKING/COMMENTING:

Please note that I have a long watchlist., but I do actually read. So when I say I read your work, I mean it. Maybe not your whole work, but enough of it. Though I have a long waitlist, but I do back books easily (once I get to it). As long as you can show me a professional looking work that has a consistent flow of an idea. However, I back books that I like and not because you backed mine. Likewise, please don't feel obligated to back my book if you don't like it. What I really want is that you "actually" read it because this book is not fiction, it is a book that I know will change your life.

I do not base my evaluation of other people's work on the same criteria as the general public. I primarily focus on the professionalism, structure, and creativity of linguistic usage. Many people have different interests and I do not believe our personal bias on certain genre of reading should affect the evaluation of a person's talent.

My background is filled with language/textual assessments. I started out as an engineer working with low-level architectual hardware language coding to high level software coding (C, C++). In seminary, it was line by line textual analysis of Hebrew/Greek Biblical text. I wrote one of my final thesis in 40 pages on 8 lines of Hebrew poetry. I currently travel back and forth to Asia to teach English as a foreign language to young students, again emphacizing on textual analysis.

Therefore please forgive me if you have an overwhelmingly creative fun literature and all I can comment on is how much I like the structure of your text. It's just the way I am wired.


Kudos! Keep writing! And God Bless!

The Anvil of God: A Spiritual ....

Cliff C. Huang

Tired of a repetitious church life that doesn't seem to be going anywhere? Perhaps you are simply craving for something other than regurgitated religious clichés.


I’ve heard all too many stories of the guitar-playing youth who becomes another worship leader in some hip college Christian fellowship. After college he gets himself a wife, a good job, 2.5 kids … and Christianity to him becomes 15-minutes-a-day devotions, Friday night studies, and Sunday worships. Like many, he finds himself lost in a tradition of rambling clichés and liturgical rituals. The only way out of this apathy is seeking a new high at each church retreat. Where's the Spiritual freedom? This is Christianity?

Nobody builds a house from the roof down, but instead from the ground up with a solid foundation. If we build ourselves on a Spiritual foundation that is made of flimsy clichés, how much security can we really have? Many of us have allowed ourselves to be programmed rather than be taught, giving up the freedom in the Spirit for slavery of religiosity just to fit the confine of the cultural norm. Is it any wonder why many of us only experience religion, but not the transforming power of the Spirit in our walk with God?

This book is published and can be purchased at:
Amazon.com in Paperback and Kindle.

 

Sweet Cheeks (甜美的臉頰)

Cliff C. Huang

They say you never forget your first love. After 10 years, I never did forget that girl who taught me how to smile.


I was a socially awkward young man in college. I never thought a girl would end up being my best friend. So you can imagine the surprise when we fell in love. But no love is without its challenges and hardships. I was in California and she was in New York.

Our story is one of laughter, comedy, and joy, along with unimaginable hard times, trials, and temptations. I was told when I was young that we must suffer for the ones we love. I've always hoped that was just a saying...



(This is an extremely rough draft. Please comment to help me improve it. But please do not comment on basic grammar and stuff, I haven't edit this work at all.)

cookie, you can definitely write and i'm happy to support your book. but i have to admit, i have no idea what your "pitch" is talking about. remember that a pitch should be simple, easily conveying the message of your story to entice readers. when it comes to fictions, i often remind writers to r... view book

i have absolutely no idea what this book is about. i think its because i didn't read the first one. but so far, i'm a bit confused since the story seems to be fantasy genre, but your cover is ... iono modern? anyhoo, i don't really evaluate content, since everyone's tastes are different. if the auth... view book

Ok, your pitch made some critical errors like many stories of your genre. people who write fantasy often neglect to describe certain terms and phraeseologies they use in the pitch and it leaves a brand new reader confused. i am sure in the book you have explained all these terms and stuff in detail,... view book

good job. a couple of things to fix. your pitch has typos and spacing errors. your actually story is nice, but i don't think you should underline anything, its not really standard. goodluck view book
