Among The Ashes by Alfred Lam
What happens when a pastor gets depressed? When Alfred Lam fell into a deep depression, all that mattered to him was quelling the pain. He did not care about right or wrong - he just wanted the pain to stop. Told with brutal honesty, this is the inspiring story of one pastor's journey through the abyss of depression. When his life finally hit rock bottom, he realized that everything had to change - including an overhaul of his faith and beliefs.
Alfred Lam served as a pastor for 20 years and was one of the first English speaking ministers to be appointed as Senior Pastor of a Chinese church in Canada. After leaving the pastoral ministry, Alfred began working in the non-profit, community services sector, providing senior level leadership. He took leadership skills developed over two decades as a pastor and apply them cross-sector into his new career. His areas of expertise includes collaborative leadership, community engagement, innovative program development and incorporating online technologies in service delivery. His experience of being diagnosed and living with depression has given Alfred a life-long mission to raise awareness and reduce stigma associated with mental illness. Through his concerts and speaking engagements Alfred inspires hope and offers encouragement to his audiences. Every time Alfred takes the stage, he uses his story and music to bring people together. He lets those going through life's many challenges know that they are not alone, and that adversity brings us together and teach us to help each other become better people at the same time.
