The stories of his growth, learning through success – and even more through failure – always ring true and draw you into his small story – and God’s Big Story. And the message is still alive and working; recently I heard of two leaders excited to be using \u003cem\u003eWalking on Water \u003c\/em\u003e(first published in 1996) as their small group study.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNowhere was Ross more at home than in the Philippines, where we spent 13 memorable years sharing God’s message and making life-long friends. The Filipino language tells its own story.  In our first youthful years Ross was called\u003cem\u003e Kuya\u003c\/em\u003e – or older brother. Then, growing in maturity and wisdom, he was \u003cem\u003eTatay\u003c\/em\u003e – father. And as his hair whitened and the smile lines deepened he became \u003cem\u003eLolo\u003c\/em\u003e – Grandfather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was proud to be Kuya, Tatay and Lolo to the generations of believers he taught and loved who, in return, taught and loved him. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaith and love are inseparable qualities – as Paul says, “\u003cem\u003eThe only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love\u003c\/em\u003e “ (Galatians 5:6). That is what Ross aspired to, and as I read and re-read all those cards, emails, and messages I realise he did a pretty good job of living it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Tooley\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Todd Burke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46999005495516,"sku":"ST1594","price":18.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9949\/6668\/files\/764cbefb-a042cc_d13ab0ad4bd945d1b528ac7864c6bb94_mv2.jpg?v=1759975984","url":"https:\/\/www.evermorebooks.co.nz\/products\/anointed-for-burial-by-todd-and-deann-burke","provider":"Evermore Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
