What unanswered questions do you have about your life? Some of us struggle to find meaning, others wonder about identity, and all of us want to be loved. Your story the events and relationships that define you will guide how you answer those questions. But God has a story too. His story is about sending Jesus to this broken world to mend all that is broken. Author Robert Cheong, a pastor and counselor, helps readers connect their story to God's story which will transform how they live and love. We all have our own back story our sometimes unconscious beliefs that have been shaped by our families, relationships, and life experiences. Our stories shape the personal narratives we live out: "I am not loved." "No one cares for me." "I have to be better than everyone around me." "How I look is the most important thing about me." Our back story guides us in how we relate to God and others. But are these beliefs true? And how are they affecting our lives today? Cheong helps readers unpack their story and learn to live out of God's new story. Readers will discover how to retell their story out of who God is, what he's done, and the call to love him and others. Learn how the dynamics of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation shape our present struggles, confirm our future hope, and ensure our ability to live in God's power today. At the intersection of God's story and your own, you'll find that his love sustains you in your weariness, guides you in your confusion, and comforts you in your suffering. The story of his love will compel you to live for him.

Lee Smith’s “The China Matrix” Exposes the Urgent Battle for America’s Soul
Format: Audiobook, Format: Audiobook
Lee Smith, a veteran investigative journalist, has penned groundbreaking exposés on political intrigue. His recent works include The Permanent Coup (2020), detailing threats to the American presidency; The Plot Against the President (2019), uncovering efforts to undermine Trump; and The Strong Horse (2010), analyzing Middle Eastern power dynamics each revealing hidden forces shaping global events. In The China Matrix, Smith delivers what may be his most critical work yet, surpassing even his prior masterpieces in urgency amid rising geopolitical tensions. This meticulously researched tome guides readers through a chilling historical timeline, starting with Henry Kissinger’s shadowy overtures to Mao Zedong and Richard Nixon’s pivotal opening of China in the 1970s. Smith masterfully traces how subsequent presidents from Carter to Obama and beyond enabled Beijing’s insidious infiltration into American institutions, economy, and society. Their short sighted dealings, often driven by elite greed, paved the way for a “fifth column” of influencers loyal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), operating right under our noses. One of the book’s most eye opening revelations is the exploitation of U.S. visa systems, particularly through birth tourism. Smith details how Chinese nationals strategically have children on American soil, granting automatic citizenship that extends benefits to parents and facilitates deeper entrenchment. This is not mere opportunism, it is a calculated strategy to embed spies, influencers, and operatives who prioritize CCP interests over America’s. Enter Donald Trump, whom Smith portrays as the visionary disruptor who saw through the facade from the start. Having observed China’s maneuvers in business and politics for decades, Trump initiated bold reforms to dismantle this matrix from trade wars curbing economic exploitation to stricter visa enforcement and scrutiny of foreign influences. Smith argues convincingly that Trump’s actions are not just reactive but prophetic, addressing a rot that previous administrations ignored or exacerbated. What sets The China Matrix apart is its unassailable research, Smith’s evidence is ironclad, drawing from declassified documents, insider accounts, and historical records that brook no challenge. It is more than a book it is an education in espionage and betrayal. By the final page, readers grasp the severity of China’s infiltration, the “enormity of the surveillance” enabled by thousands of CCP loyal infiltrators in tech, academia, government, and beyond. Smith connects the dots with chilling precision, spotlighting cases like Dianne Feinstein’s longtime driver revealed as a Chinese spy, illustrating how even high level U.S. officials have been compromised. Yet, amid the dire warnings, Smith shines a hopeful light on Trump’s achievements. From exposing elite complicity in fentanyl flows and tech theft to rallying an “America First” agenda, Trump has begun unraveling the web and, as Smith projects, will continue this vital work over the next three plus years in office. The task is enormous, but understanding it through Smith’s lens makes clear why systemic change is essential for securing better lives for all Americans. The China Matrix is invaluable, bordering on mandatory reading for anyone seeking to comprehend the CCP’s deep entrenchment and the high stakes fight to reclaim our sovereignty. In an era of misinformation, Smith’s dot connecting narrative empowers readers to see the big picture. .

A great book by a great journalist
Format: Hardcover
The China Matrix is another great book by the great journalist Lee Smith. The book is written in a very easy to read format. I have learned so many things that I didn't know before, and I simply can't put it down. Lee opened my eyes about the way Washington D.C. works, and I really miss his Epoch TV show, Over the Target. I wish more shows invited him on because he has a great insight when it comes to domestic and international affairs. To whoever wants to learn more about the way the Chinese Community Party works, I recommend to get this book and read it.

Misses some important context, but a solid book
Format: Audiobook
I can't give it the 3.5 stars it deserves. Smith is an outstanding writer and has long view China as an adversary that we intentionally do not pay attention to given the elites make large amounts of money working with the CCP. In this book he demonstrates that happened from the get go, starting with Kissinger. Rarely, if ever, were American interests ever viewed as the lens with which to see China, only as a way to make money for power brokers and businesses alike. He points to Trumps long standing opposition to the way the international trade system evolved and the way it harmed middle class Americans. All of this is outstanding, but the book loses many points trying to cover for terrible protectionist economic policies. We certainly may have gone too far in hollowing out the industrial base, but 100% of Americans benefitted from lower price and more selections. It is not the purpose of the book, but a look at overall US business policy has been to harm Amercians, one need look no further than mass immigration, legal and illegal that drive down wages at the lower/middle end. Nor does the book bother with looking at general business mindless following each other for yet another new fad, from six sigma to who moved my cheese. Again, not what the book is about, but he tries to make the claim that all of this is China and elite policy driving toward this outcome when that data is not supported. Overall, it is a better than worse book that one should read if for no other reason than to see how far we have actually bent over for China for gains that are mostly illusory for business access. That China still uses the elites to gain access not just to markets but US citizen minds is the real problem. Smith does a good job pointing that out

Yet, so many US consumers take a knee to Chinese imports.
Format: Kindle
My first response to Lee Smith's "The Chinese Matrix" is anger with the CCP. But, they did what treasonous US politicians and investors permitted in exchange for wealth and power. The current situation reminds me of the Chinese finger trap - a small tube of woven reeds just large enough to insert a finger into each end. When naturally trying to withdraw the fingers from opposite ends, the woven reeds constricted. Escape was contrary to natural instinct. Likewise, to extract our country from the Chinese Matrix will require unnatural sacrifice.
