This guide will be a very useful resource for anyone wanting to engage with Japanese people. It gives rich insights into Japan’s history and culture alongside lots of practical tips for befriending, witnessing to and discipling those from a very different culture to our own. The questions it raises could also well be good pointers to engaging with other nationalities.
Sue Burt, Head of Returnee Ministry, Friends International
Jesus became a human being to communicate the gospel to us in an understandable way. We too must stand in Japanese shoes (or slippers) to effectively communicate the gospel to our Japanese neighbours. This book is a very helpful tool to have in your bag.
Tony Schmidt, Former OMF missionary in Japan; OMF Returnee Focus voluntary worker among Japanese in Canada
A must–read for any Christian who seeks better communication with any Japanese. This booklet will give you a good understanding of why Japanese people think and act as they do, and offer practical tips on how to move forward.
Yoshie Yokoyama, Japan Country Leader, OMF Returnee Focus; minister, Japan United Church of Christ
This is a really helpful booklet for someone wishing to better understand the worldview of a Japanese friend or contact and how to show them the love of Christ more effectively.
