As a passionate enthusiast of history, particularly the rich tapestry of Christian history, Dr. Andrew C S Koh’s Walking in His Footsteps struck me as a compelling blend of personal memoir, spiritual reflection, and historical travelogue. Published in 2025, this nonfiction account chronicles the author’s pilgrimage through key sites in the Holy Land, from the Jordan River to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. While it’s framed as a devotional journey aimed at deepening faith, it offers substantial value for history buffs by grounding biblical narratives in tangible, archaeological contexts. Koh, a physician and devout Christian, writes with sincerity and accessibility, making the book an inviting read for anyone curious about how ancient events echo in modern landscapes. The structure is straightforward and effective: after a warm preface and foreword (penned by Elder David Lim Sui Meng), the book dives into 23 chapters, each dedicated to a specific site. Koh doesn’t just describe places like the Mount of Olives, where Jesus prayed and ascended, or Qumran Caves, home to the Dead Sea Scrolls; he weaves in biblical references (primarily from the NIV), historical details, and his own experiences. For instance, in the chapter on Tabgha, the site of the miracle of the loaves and fishes he recounts the serene atmosphere by the Sea of Galilee, linking it to the Gospel accounts while noting the Church of the Multiplication’s Byzantine mosaics. Similarly, his visit to the Western Wall explores its Jewish roots and Christian resonances, touching on Roman destruction in 70 AD and ongoing excavations. These sections shine for history lovers, providing concise overviews of sites’ evolution from ancient times through Byzantine, Crusader, and Ottoman periods. What elevates the book beyond a standard guide is Koh’s personal touch. He shares moments of awe, like kneeling in the Nativity Grotto or reflecting on Elijah’s confrontation at Mount Carmel, which humanize the history. The inclusion of photographs (credited to S K Loh) and poems at chapter ends adds a visual and contemplative layer, helping readers visualize the rugged Judean deserts or the tranquil Galilee shores. As someone drawn to Christian history, I appreciated how Koh connects sites to broader themes like the Essenes’ possible role at Qumran or the interfaith dynamics at the Temple Mount without overwhelming the narrative.

Scripture
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. John 14:27
Reflection
It seems like the world tries to sell you this idea of “peace,” but really, it’s just loads of distractions, you know? Nothing beats a sweet holiday or a quick solution, right? These might make you feel better for a moment, but they don’t really solve the bigger problems underneath.
It’s like just throwing some paint on a wall that’s falling apart when it actually needs major repairs, not just a quick fix. On the other side of things, Jesus offers this incredible peace that’s not just handed down to you, but is honestly a deep and meaningful gift. He reassures you with the words, “My peace I give to you.”
Finding this peace feels like having a strong defense against all the negativity that spills over in the news and the struggles you carry with you day in and day out.
It encourages you to understand that deep within you lies the power to make a significant choice in your life. You can let all these stress and worries pull you down into sadness, or you can choose to find the peace that surpassed all understanding.
Take a little time today to talk about what’s bothering you and share these worries with Him. This small act of reaching out can lead to profound relief and a renewed sense of hope. Ultimately, the choice is yours to find strength and comfort in His presence.
Take hold of the triple peace that’s available to you. The peace of God that soothes your heart and soul, the peace with God that encourages trust and understanding in your relationship with Him, and the peace from God that brings comfort and reassurance when you know that God has forgiven your sins.
If you really want to find some peace in the craziness of life, it’s super helpful to think about what Psalm 46:10 says: “Be still, and know that I am God.” It’s a nice little reminder to pause and tune into something larger than yourself, especially when things get a bit crazy. When things get overwhelming or you’re feeling a bit anxious, taking a step back for a second will help you sort things out and get your head straight. Holding onto this verse will guide you towards feeling calm and confident.
Story
Tsunami
In 2004, when that terrible Bali Tsunami hit, there was a story of this incredible woman caught in the crazy waves. In that scary moment, she held on tight to her faith and started singing a song called “Hide Me Now.” The lyrics below really gave her the strength to face the tsunami:
“When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm. Father, You are King over the flood. I will be still and know You are God.”
Even when it felt like the whole world was out to get her, she not only got through the tsunami but also courageously opened up about her amazing testimony of hope and strength. Her experience really shows how faith can give you power, especially in tough times.
Meditation
Take a deep breath and really soak in the here and now. As you do, say out loud and with confidence: “Lord, I accept Your peace.”
As you take a deep breath and let it out slowly, picture the stress or worry you’re clinging to just melting away. Remind yourself, “I’m letting go of my fear.”
You can’t overlook how important this practice is. It is such a great way to discover a sense of peace and balance within yourself.
When you understand how significant this move is, it’s clear that its impact stretches way beyond just relaxation. It sets up a vibe in your heart where peace can thrive, leading to a stronger sense of inner calm.
Give all your worries and stress to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. He’s here to bring you comfort when life gets crazy and uncertain. When you do this, you’ll feel a wave of peace and comfort from trusting Him, which helps you face your problems with a bit more ease.
Once you get onboard with this idea, it will totally turn your stress into calmness by allowing Him to take care of your issues. Keep in mind, He gives peace that’s way deeper than what you can understand, leading you to live a much more peaceful life.
To really find peace, you need to let the Prince of Peace take the lead in your life. If you don’t give Him control and follow His guidance, you’re not going to feel this true calm. It’s through His presence that you can create real harmony in yourself and in your world. So, embracing the Prince of Peace is key to discovering that true peace.
Isaiah 9:6, For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A compelling read for those seeking holistic healing in mind, body, and spirit.
From Stethoscope to Wisdom delves into the powerful convergence of medicine, faith, and personal development. The author skillfully combines medical knowledge with deep spiritual insights, leading readers on a transformative journey to greater wisdom and purpose. This book is a captivating read for anyone seeking holistic healing for their mind, body, and spirit—a true must-read!
Soul Searching one heartbeat at a time!
Working in healthcare is a rewarding experience, everyday is same but different at the same time. This field provides the opportunity to touch people’s lives and bring about positive outcomes. Every healthcare professional has a lifetime of stories that can motivate, transform, and move the population. “In the quiet between heartbeats, wisdom grows; in the fading echo of a stethoscope, a life’s meaning unfolds,” writes Dr. Andrew CS Koh in his memoir. Appropriately titled From Stethoscope to Wisdom – A Doctor’s Reflection is a 205-page volume full of wisdom, spirituality, medicine, and life experiences of someone who made his life mission to serve the sick and heal the hurting.
“This book is an autobiographical narrative that chronicles my journey from birth to retirement. I wrote this memoir as a lasting legacy for my family, friends, and loved ones. My hope is that my experiences will inspire and resonate with others who may find reflection in their own lives,” writes Dr. CS Koh in the prologue detailing his motivation for penning this memoir. The story of Koh’s life starts off from his home birth and christening ceremony where he is given the Cantonese name which translates to ‘praising the stars’ and moves on to his childhood in the town of Tanjong Malim. A vivid description of the town environs is notable here.
The story moves on to describe his parents as strong believers in superstitions who trusted in traditional Chinese medicine. This is one aspect of the memoir I am not a big fan of, even though scientifically educated as a doctor of modern medicine, Koh is quick to denigrate traditional Chinese medicine and spirituality as mere “superstition.” There are chapters dedicated to his knowledge and experiences as a healthcare provider, delivering compassionate care for patients in pain, facing death, suffering, and through it all the lessons he learnt about compassion, healing, and faith. This mixture of professional, personal, and spiritual insights make this book worth reading.
Written in a chatty, conversational, down-to-earth manner, this book comes across as an easy read. It is more like a conversation with a friend/ mentor/ philosopher and less like a preachy lecture of an academic. As a healthcare provider myself, I find this book honest, real, and spoken from the heart of a healer. I would recommend this book for people who are in healthcare and those who intend to make a career in healthcare. Srinidhi, Amazon, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ( 1 out of 19 Amazon Reviews, average star rating 4,6/ 5.0)

Top Review from the United States
Time Traveler’s Return: Back to 1969 was a heartfelt read that took me to a charming library full of details such as a rotary phone, typewriters, classic books, students, and schoolteachers. Descriptions are solid, and yet whimsical feelings of a loved place come through. The book was an enduring memory of the MES school library and the hours of reading that were magical for those who went there, in 2025 and in 1969. The author painted a wonderful picture along with atmosphere, and then we ventured further into the story and into time. Professor Lim was an interesting character, and I won’t put in any spoilers here. I’ll just say that the mystery surrounding time was a fun part of the book. And then, I enjoyed the exploration undertaken by our hero, and the outcome of the adventure was satisfying. I must add that I love reading on rainy days or imagining it through a book.

Scripture
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39.
Reflection
The disciples, skilled fishermen who were used to the sea’s surprises, were suddenly hit by fear when a storm broke out, tossing their boat around like mad on that day they’d never forget. Despite all the chaos around him, Jesus managed to chill out and was sound asleep at the back of the boat.
It really makes you think that having that connection to Jesus doesn’t necessarily mean that life is always easy. No matter how spiritual you are, challenges and storms will pop up in life. The real game changer is having the Lord with you when these tough times hit. They can come as money issues, relationship issues, an unexpected diagnosis, or feelings that weigh you down.
You’re never really alone because the One who can calm the strongest storms is right there with you. He’s right there beside you to comfort you, letting you know that even if help doesn’t arrive right away, you can always count on His sweet whisper saying, “Just breathe, everything’s cool,” to settle your nervous heart.
No storm can overpower Him because His strength is always there and never runs out, no matter what you deal with. No matter how deep your sadness gets, He can always step in and bring you comfort and peace, reminding you that you are never really alone in what you are facing.
Honestly, there’s nothing too big or complicated that He can’t handle, showing just how amazing He is at fixing things and helping you heal.. The One who has the whole universe in His hands can totally lift you up and help you whenever you need it.
Story
The story behind Footprint in the sand.
In this touching poem and song, the poet and songwriter remembers a peaceful stroll on the beach with God during a dream. While looking at the sand, she started feeling uneasy seeing only one set of footprints during her toughest moments. She felt confused and upset, asking God why He seemed to disappear when she really needed Him. In a flash of understanding, she realizes that those lonely footprints were proof of God being right there with her. During those tough moments, Jesus was not walking just alongside her but was carrying her all the way.
I really connect with this song. It hit me hard emotionally, making me cry when I sing it. It feels like a rush of emotion that speaks to my soul. The lyrics bring up some deep feelings that are both lovely and intense. It’s such a strong experience that shows how music, poetry, and faith all tie together.
Thought-Provoking Question
Just picture this. You’re in a boat, in the middle of a storm, and you really feel like Jesus is right there with you. It’s like His love is wrapping around you, making everything feel warm and good. It’s a vibe that’s hard to shake off. Do you really think you have to handle the storm all by yourself?
Don’t you feel that knowing how loving and powerful He is should make you want to trust Him more?
I mean, instead of just depending on yourself, why not just lean on His strength? He’s all-powerful, everywhere at once, and knows everything.
Knowing that He’s walking alongside you will totally shift your mindset. What used to look like a huge obstacle now feels more like a faith journey.
So, let me ask you this. Do you think your thoughts on that rough patch you’re in will change if you truly know that Jesus is right there with you, lending a hand and guiding you?God makes this great promise in the Bible, saying, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you,” and it just brings a lot of comfort, like in Hebrews 13:5. This will encourage you to trust that He’s always by your side, backing you up no matter what. This verse will help you focus on what’s truly important in life instead of just running after material things. At the end of the day, it’s really about being grateful for what you’ve got and remembering that you’re not on this journey by yourself.

Inspired by the anointing at Bethany (John 12:1–8 / Matthew 26:6–13).
Intimate, worshipful, and emotional, with clear musical phrasing:
Listen:
Pour It All Out
Verse 1
In a quiet room, the scent of love,
She brought her jar, poured it from above.
Gold and fragrance, on Your feet it spilled,
Every drop a heart completely thrilled.
Whispers rose, “Why waste it here?”
But You looked at her and drew her near.
Pre Chorus
Even when the world can’t understand,
You see the devotion of a willing hand.
Chorus
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
Every gift, every heart, let love shout.
No act too small, no treasure too dear,
When it’s for You, You hold it near.
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
This is worship, pure and loud.
Verse 2
Critics watching, eyes full of doubt,
She didn’t measure, she just poured out.
For the One who gave her hope and peace,
Every act of love became release.
And You said, “Wherever this is told,
Her story of love will never grow old.”
Pre Chorus
Even when the world can’t understand,
You see the devotion of a willing hand.
Chorus
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
Every gift, every heart, let love shout.
No act too small, no treasure too dear,
When it’s for You, You hold it near.
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
This is worship, pure and loud.
Bridge
Love knows no measure, love knows no end,
Every offering breaks and mends.
In the quiet, the humble, the pure,
Your presence makes every heart secure.
Final Chorus
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
Every gift, every heart, let love shout.
No act too small, no treasure too dear,
When it’s for You, You hold it near.
Pour it all out, pour it all out,
Your name is lifted, hearts devout.

Scripture
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7.
Reflection
The Hebrew word for peace is shalom, and it really means a lot in Jewish culture. Shalom is often used as a friendly greeting in the Hebrew-speaking community. It’s not just a way to say hi; it’s like wishing someone peace and happiness too. When you meet someone, especially in a Jewish setting, it’s polite to say shalom to help build a nice vibe. Using this greeting can definitely brighten up the mood and strengthen your connections with people.
Usually, feeling “at peace” goes hand in hand with being happy and just feeling good about life, where everything seems to click together nicely.. Your bills are handled, your kids are doing great, your boss is happy with you, and everyone at work is getting along just fine.
According to the Bible, peace means something different. It’s this deep kind of calm that you just can’t explain. This awesome feeling of peace can just show up when you least expect it. It doesn’t let outside stuff get in the way and feels super comforting even when you’re facing challenges.
Like when you’re sitting nervously in a hospital waiting area or trying to figure out the ups and downs of your relationships. You can totally feel the benefits of this peace without needing to understand every little thing about it. It’s like a shield that helps guard you from those heavy waves of anxiety and sadness.
The Bible explains that there are three unique kinds of peace that you can experience when you’re justified by grace, showing just how meaningful this triple peace is.
First off, there’s the peace of God, which gives you that calm feeling and security inside. Then, you have the peace from God, showing the blessings and comfort He shares with you when you reach out to Him. Lastly, there’s peace with God, which is all about fixing that relationship between you and your Creator. This is really important for a spiritual journey that feels meaningful.
In John 14:27, Jesus tells His followers, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” He’s making it clear that the peace He offers is different from what you will find in the world. Unlike the temporary and shallow peace that can come and go, His peace is deep and lasting. He encourages you not to worry and to let go of your fears. This really hits home as a soothing reminder that you can find true calm through Him.
Prayer
Father, I’ve discovered something that really matters. I don’t need a perfect life without problems to really feel at ease and find my inner peace.
I’m putting my energy into discovering this unique sense of peace that feels like a protective wall around my thoughts and feelings, helping me to deal with the day-to-day stuff with a little more grace and understanding.
Instead of stressing about being perfect, I’ve decided to focus on finding the peace that helps me feel good and enjoy life to the fullest. In the end, it’s this peace that helps me face whatever the day throws at me with courage.
I can’t thank You enough for the beautiful gift of grace. It really brings this awesome peace that seems to surround me all the time.
Your grace is far more than a mere abstract concept. It really changes how I live and gives me a wonderful sense of calm and confidence each day. Feeling forgiven brings a calm that fills my whole heart and mind that is beyond human understanding. I feel really grateful for this amazing experience that brightens up my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
