Books I Would Write 2

Give Me Here on a Platter His Head

Personal Lessons
in
Developing Your Gift of Rebuke

"Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for John had been saying to him: "It is not lawful for you to have her."" Herod beheads John the Baptist, Matthew 14:3-4

How do you rebuke truthfully without offending others or belittling them? Can the gift of rebuke be developed in such a way as to not build grudges or stir up prejudice? And how do you restore those relationships that get shaken along the way?

Ken Tsang, author of "I Opposed Him to His Face", and a trail-blazer in the gift of rebuke, chronicles his personal journey of developing rebuke as a spiritual language. "Give Me Here on a Platter His Head" shares on his continual inner struggle as a so-called "angry prophet", recalling the many heart-breaking relational lessons that were painfully learnt in retrospect, and uncovers valuable insight into the hidden restorative power of the Gift of Rebuke.
