The story of the B-P Church, Singapore has to be told. It has been known to be the fastest growing church here. WHY? It is being told in this book - The Singapore B-P Church Story - by its founder pastor Rev. Dr. Timothy Tow (1920-2009) in a way that no one else can tell it. His holy intention was that "That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments" (Psalm 78:7).
The author attempts at a comprehensive historical narration of the Singapore B-P Church. He first traces in a most interesting way, the origin of the B-P Church from its first root in the 16th Century Reformation to its seventh root in the Life B-P Church, Singapore. He concentrates on its vital American root and reveals the situation of the B-P Church in Singapore today.
Those who are curious to know about the dissolution of the B-P Synod will want to read this book. Members of B-P churches will find this book illuminating.
Generally the book has interest for all in the Lord's business.

Timothy Tow Siang Hui (28 December 1920 – 20 April 2009) was a Singaporean pastor who founded the Bible-Presbyterian Church. He was also founding principal of the Far Eastern Bible College.
Tow was educated at the Anglo-Chinese School. He was influenced first by John Sung, and later by Carl McIntire. He studied at Faith Theological Seminary and was ordained in Geneva in 1950 at a special meeting of the Philadelphia Presbytery of the Bible Presbyterian Church. Tow returned to Singapore and became pastor of the Life Church English Service at Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church. In 1955, he led a group out of the Chinese Presbyterian Synod to form the Bible-Presbyterian Church. Tow's congregation became known as Life Bible-Presbyterian Church (Life BPC). He later returned to Faith Theological Seminary and completed a Master of Sacred Theology degree.
