Book Introduction
“Give him my heart!”
Favor, the miracle of the Lord's special and secret blessing
An autobiographical essay by Hyungrok Ha, author of "P31," and chairman of TimHaas, a world-renowned architectural design firm.
The second book by Chairman Ha Hyeong-rok, author of 『P31』, has been published.
This book is an autobiographical essay about Chairman Ha Hyung-rok's extraordinary awakening, which began when he lost consciousness from ventricular tachycardia in the middle of a highway in 1991 at the age of 32.
That realization began with two heart transplants and the subsequent miracles of life that followed.
Stories of amazing miracles that occur when a person, in a life-or-death situation, gives up his or her heart to a heart transplant patient who is in even more desperate need than himself.
Chairman Ha Hyeong-rok says that it is God's amazing grace, 'favor', given 'because God saw that it was good.'
The concept of 'favor' does not exist in the Korean Bible.
It was only similarly interpreted as the word grace or mercy.
Favor is similar to grace or mercy in that it is a free gift we receive, but it is also different in that it is a special gift that comes to us only when 'God sees fit.'
The meaning of 'good in the sight of God' refers to true sacrifice.
True sacrifice means truly putting into practice what God said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
It is not a blessing from God that we receive by giving to our neighbors what we do not need, but by willingly giving to our neighbors what is very precious to us.
Chairman Ha Hyung-rok has been practicing this lifestyle in his business and personal life for nearly 27 years, and he is already receiving a lot of favor.
The book that tells that story is 『Favor』.

Epilogue
Into the book
The cruelest reality of all was that waiting didn't guarantee that the right heart would appear.
In fact, more than half of patients in cardiac wards die while waiting for a heart transplant.
Even if you are lucky enough to receive a transplant, half of those who do will die from infection or complications.
Even if the surgery was successful despite all the risks, patients could live an average of 10 years longer.

That's what she said, but she knew that the chances of finding a heart that suited her in two days were slim.
Didn't I also wait for 5 full months?
Perhaps when I wake up from my heart transplant, filled with gratitude and joy for my new life, I will hear that the woman in the next room has passed away.
The heart ward was a place where life and death were so clearly divided, separated only by a wall, and this was the harsh reality faced by heart patients.
Even though I had never met the person's face, I felt sorry for him as if it had happened to me.
--- p.
26
That's how I realized how dangerous it was to live a life where I only thought about my relationship with God and was indifferent to my neighbors.
God was telling me through my troubled heart, 'Those who love and serve their neighbors are the ones who truly love me.'
I was so happy I could jump.
If I hadn't fallen, it might have taken me longer to learn this amazing truth.
A pain worse than death weighed on my withered body every day, but the secrets of heaven that I discovered through the Bible each day renewed my soul.
My heart was filled with childlike joy and hope, and from my mouth flowed uncontrollable prayers of thanksgiving and vows, along with praise.
--- p.
55
Therefore, the blessings of 'favor' are not ours until we make some good decisions.
But knowing that He is the One who gives us the blessing of 'favor', we can decide.
It helps us fundamentally change our attitude towards how we live, especially towards our neighbors in need.
Helping one's neighbor requires utter self-sacrifice.
Just as I gave my heart to a woman I didn't even know, just as my friends and their husbands gave their money away, it's sacrificing one's own for one's neighbor.
At that very moment, God's 'favor' comes.
--- p.

Another important keyword related to the blessing of ‘favor’ is neighbor.
Previously, my most important keyword was 'me'.
I was very concerned about how much God would forgive my sins, but less concerned about my neighbors.
I only prayed and asked God to save me, but I was not as desperate for the salvation of my neighbors.
But God has given this favor to those who love him:

Where God is, that is my home.
I have to go back there someday.
If God says, 'Come back to me now, to your eternal home where you belong,' then going is a blessing.
Isn't it God who will keep my wife and daughters safer and guide their lives even when I am gone?

Jesus gave his life for us.
Jesus was resurrected because he sacrificed himself.
If there was no sacrifice, there would be no resurrection.
Sacrifice and resurrection are exactly the same thing.
I think that is a core principle of Christianity.
In the Bible, Jesus gave only one command to his disciples.
'If you love me, if you love God, love your neighbor with the same love', and live a life of sacrifice for that neighbor.
This is because sacrifice is the shortcut to growth, happiness, stability, success, victory, and the highest values that life pursues.

Publisher's Review
Favor, God's special grace that came like a miracle of amazing life!
Tim Haas, the chairman of the world-renowned architectural design firm, is already highly trusted in the United States, having been appointed by President Obama in 2013 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve as a director of the National Institute of Building Science (NIBS).
His company was also selected as the company that young people most want to work for.
This story of Chairman Ha Hyeong-rok was broadcast on KBS-TV's [Global Success Era] in 2015, and was introduced to domestic readers with a deep impression.
TimHaahs, an architectural design firm, is a company that puts into practice the Bible verse from Proverbs 31, based on the motto, "We exist to help our neighbors."
He is highly trusted in the business world as he demonstrates firsthand how to do business well according to the Bible and sets a vision for the future.
The content is fully contained in his first book, 『P31』.
This book became a bestseller, resonating with not only Christians but also ordinary businessmen.
Recently, in Korea, there has been an increase in the number of businesspeople and office workers who are trying to emulate and practice his life and management mindset.
Meanwhile, Chairman Ha Hyung-rok had a special realization when he collapsed from ventricular tachycardia in 1991 at the age of 32.
At that time, in a life-or-death situation where he did not know when he would die, he began to experience a series of amazing miracles as he gave up his heart to a heart transplant patient who was in more desperate need than himself.
Chairman Ha Hyung-rok realized that it was God's amazing grace, "favor," given because "God saw it as good," and wrote his second book, "Favor," with the hope that many people would experience the miraculous blessings he had experienced.
However, the concept of ‘favor’ did not exist in the Korean Bible.
It was simply translated as 'grace' or 'favor', but no matter how I looked at it, 'grace' could not be seen as an accurate translation of 'favor'.
Just as the English word '정' does not exist and is expressed as '사랑', the Korean word '에프버' does not exist and is therefore written as '은혜' or '은청'.
Favor, a concept particularly unfamiliar to Koreans due to translation issues, is similar to grace or mercy in that it is a favor we receive freely, but it is also different in that it is a special gift that comes to us only when “God sees fit.”
‘Salvation’ that comes from believing in God is grace.
Salvation through faith is by grace.
But that doesn't mean they all deserve 'favor'.
As the Korean song [Jeong] says, for a rainbow to appear in our lives, there must be ‘favor.’
Hidden within this word, 'favor,' was the secret to blessings and victory, the secret to success and happiness, and the secret to leading a right life.
It also contained the secret to empowering us to make good decisions within one, two, or three seconds.
That is, the blessings of 'favor' were not ours until we made some good decisions.
But knowing that the Lord is the One who gives the blessing of 'favor', we can make decisions at important moments in our lives that 'please God's eyes.
It helps us fundamentally change our attitude towards how we live, especially towards our neighbors in need.
Chairman Ha Hyeong-rok is already living such a life.
At first, I just wanted to keep the commandment to love my neighbor.
Even if it meant death, I believed that was the only way to ‘love my neighbor as myself.’
I also did not know that God is the one who gives the blessing of 'favor' to children who sacrifice to live according to His word.
But now I know.
Just as He performed miracles on him who knew nothing, I believe He will give more favors to more people.
However, if many people want to receive the blessing of 'favor', they must tear down the tower of 'self-love' that they have built up until now and build a tower of 'love for neighbors'.
We must turn from a life of sacrifice and patience for our children, our families, and ourselves to a life of loving our neighbors with the same sacrifice, patience, and effort.
The moments and emotions of favor that Chairman Ha Hyeong-rok actually experienced are contained in this book, “Favor.”
Through this book, I hope that countless people will accurately understand the concept of loving their neighbors and put it into practice in their lives, thereby receiving God's favor.
