When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.

Jesus replied, They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.

We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish, they answered.

Bring them here to me, he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

(Matthew 14:13-21)

Joseph Chew is a man of strong Christian faith. Joseph is also a man with a wide and varied set of experiences. What struck me about his book, The Path To Success and Happiness, is how Joseph reflects on his experiences within the light of his faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In Jesus one discovers, in faith, that success and happiness are not materialistic accomplishments or acquisitions. Success and Happiness is the consequence of living, loving and serving like Jesus.

In Joseph’s striving to find success and happiness he was encountered by Jesus Christ. What was the consequence? You will know the answer as you read through the pages of The Path to Success and Happiness.

Bro Joseph Chew is a highly committed co-leader of FGB Gatekeepers Singapore’s Raffles Place Gate, who has worked hard to disciple believers in the Central Business District for the work of the Kingdom of God. In his very timely, inspiring and encouraging book, Bro Joseph selflessly pours out his life story and testifies of all that God has done for him.

I believe God will use it to help and touch people who have or are going through similar situations. Personally, I have benefitted much from Bro Joseph’s sharing and testimonies on his struggles and journey through the valley of the shadow of death to a tremendous victory in

Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

I know Joseph from my days as a Prayer Guide with the Sojourners’ Companions. Our role was mainly to guide people to a more intimate encounter with Christ Jesus through praying with Scripture. Then and now, Joseph has been actively helping others to know, love and serve God and His beloved people.

Here in this book, he continues to share his life experiences as he bears witness to God’s abiding love through good times and tragedies; a God who is ever present; a God of many chances, who always keeps His promise; a God who can be tough with His love but loves us regardless and wants only the best for us.

I have worked with Joseph for the past few years and I have found him to be a true friend and mentor. What impresses me most is his selfless giving of himself to share his knowledge and the work he has done, not just only to his charge but to anyone who genuinely seeks his help. Professionally, he is deeply committed to his craft of financial planning, to his clients, to the company and his people.

Joseph shares his life journey in this book. An ordinary man on the outside but a giant inside. He is a man of tenacity and faith. Here, you will find secrets to success and wealth. Success and wealth far beyond the material sense of the word. May you discover for yourself the truth through the pages of this book and be inspired and blessed.
