"It's Jehovah who bestows upon me the strength to scale my mountains; He is why I am ultra-abled, not disabled, so I desire for all to know Him and be ultra-abled as well," says Cheng. "This is why I've made it my life's mission to touch as many people as I possibly can to bring the life-changing Word of God. I must thank Jehovah for helping me write 'Do You Love Jehovah?' All glory, honor, and praise go to Him!"
Dr. Richard R. Blake, former instructor at Bay Cities Bible College, commented regarding Cheng's book, "In poetic prose Shirley describes the nature of God and the character of Christ with clarity, emotion, and passion. She boldly addresses traditional church doctrine giving her own personal insight and interpretation logically, using a common sense analysis. She includes foundational doctrines for living the spiritual life courageously with determined intention. In a concise, yet complete, Bible summary, Cheng covers important events and a review of the important themes of the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation."

Owing to years of hospitalization, she received no education until age eleven. Back then, she knew only her ABCs and very simple English; other than that, her book knowledge was non-existent. However, after only about 180 days of special education in elementary school, she mastered grade level in all areas and entered a regular sixth grade class in middle school. Unfortunately, Shirley lost her eyesight at the age of seventeen. After a successful eye surgery, she hopes to earn multiple science doctorates from Harvard University. http://www.shirleycheng.com
