Top Review from the United States

5.0 out of 5 stars Pilgrim’s Journey

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2025

Format: Kindle

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. Virgil Walker, โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… ( 1 out of 19 Amazon rveiwes, average star rating 5/5).

Top Review from the United States on December 23, 2025

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 peopleโ€™s lives and bring about positive outcomes. Every healthcare professional has a lifetime of stories that can motivate, transform, and move the population. โ€œIn the quiet between heartbeats, wisdom grows; in the fading echo of a stethoscope, a lifeโ€™s meaning unfolds,โ€ writes Dr. Andrew CS Koh in his memoir. Appropriately titled From Stethoscope to Wisdom โ€“ A Doctorโ€™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.

โ€œThis 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,โ€ writes Dr. CS Koh in the prologue detailing his motivation for penning this memoir. The story of Kohโ€™s life starts off from his home birth and christening ceremony where he is given the Cantonese name which translates to โ€˜praising the starsโ€™ 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 โ€œsuperstition.โ€ 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.

Top Review from the United States

Time Travelerโ€™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 wonโ€™t put in any spoilers here. Iโ€™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.

The Hourglass Paradox

Book Chapter: Chapter 3

The Mysterious Ledger

Josephineโ€™s flashlight beam dances over the consoles, each coated in years of neglect. She restrains herself from reaching out to anything in this haunting location, her instincts warning her to refrain.

Instead, she scans the room for answers. If her grandfather kept the key so carefully, he might have left something else behind.

In the far corner, half-buried under a collapsed shelf, she spots a metal box. The lid is dented, its latch rusted. She pries it open with a crowbar, and a dry, musty smell escaped. Inside is a leather-bound ledger, its cover cracked with age. She opens it carefully, the yellowed pages whispering under her fingers.

The first entries are in neat block letters: 

Project Chronos Phase I: Initiation.

Next came detailed diagrams and blueprints of devices and gadgets that looked strikingly like what is in the room. Scrawled notes in the margins catches her eye:

Temporal displacement unstable.โ€จSubject return probability: 72%, unacceptable risk.โ€จPortal window fixed. Destination cannot be chosen.

When she turns another page, her chest tightens. She sees a faded photograph of her grandfather in his younger days. He exuded a more serious demeanor, with his gaze intensely locked onto the camera. Alongside him stood a team of men and women clad in lab coats, their features indistinct with the passage of time. An X had been marked over the faces of two of them.

Her hands quiver with uncertainty, flooded by an overwhelming surge of questions. Could it be that her grandfather was a time traveler? What led to the elimination of those two individuals? What secrets compelled her grandfather to keep this hidden from her? Scrawled on the last page of the ledger, a hurried and jagged note in a different handwriting reads:

If you find this, you are the last link. The key is yours. The Hourglass portal will call to you when the cycle turns.

A sudden metallic clang echoes through the room. Josephineโ€™s head snaps up. Her flashlight beam catches movement, just a flicker, in the shadows near the far wall.

โ€œHello?โ€ she calls, her voice sharper than she intends. A deafening silence follows.

She steps back toward the door, but the low hum from before returned, vibrating in the floor beneath her boots. This time, it is stronger and seem to pulse in sync with her heartbeat.

Josephine does not know if she is in danger or standing at the edge of something extraordinary.

But she knows one thing for certain, she isnโ€™t going to leave this place! Not yet!
