Christ's Grace is Sufficient for Me!: Gerhard life story

By Dr. Emilie Van Wyk

WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUTReading this remarkable story of Gerhard's life takes us through deep valleys of despair and frustration, yet, simultaneously, uplifts us to mountain tops of hope and courage. Gerhard appears in these pages as a conventional human being, with whom we can identify, but then, he surprises us with extraordinary performances: Service and caring for others. His loving wife, Emilie, succeeds in disclosing Gerhard's life, conveying emotions, ambitions, disappointments and hopes. She explains and contextualizes his initial agnostic skepticism, and the resultant feelings of worthlessness, as well as his negative experiences and disappointments with people, but then again, his strong faith in Christ and his victorious life: He could forgive, displaying his bold spirit and strong character. He was willing to challenge people to move beyond sterile modernism to a creative Christian approach of the postmodern; despite the accomplishments of science, Gerhard constantly expresses awe in the majestic creation of God. Simultaneously, he identifies with those in dire need with heartfelt compassion. Dr. Gerhard van Wyk is an exceptional person - I am glad not to have missed this opportunity to read about his achievements and the unique story of this faithful servant of God. - Rudolph Meyer
