Book Description

October 1, 1999
When Christianity landed on the shores of Japan 450 years ago, Japanese people were so attracted to the Gospel that they chose torture and death rather than renounce their faith. Today, Japanese people seem indifferent to the message of Jesus. What changed? This book examines the invisible spiritual reality behind the 17th century persecution of Christians and the subsequent spiritual strongholds that were established. These spiritual and cultural barriers are still effectively holding the Japanese people in spiritual bondage.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Ministry to Japanese People, August 23, 2007
This review is from: Overcoming Spiritual Barriers in Japan (Paperback)
I am the author of this little book. I'm amazed at the life of this book! It continues to go at a steady pace year after year. I attribute this to three factors: 1) There are so few books available on Christianity in Japan that are ministry focused, as this one is; 2) A steady interest among Christians to share the Gospel with Japanese; and 3) The spiritual and cultural solutions I've outlined outlined in Overcoming Spiritual Barriers in Japan are unique.

I'm pleased with how this book helps others to understand Japan's complicated early Christian history, provides culture tools to understand why Japanese behave in the ways they do, and inspires Christians to pray more specifically and powerfully for Japan.

I hope you enjoy and are blessed by the book!

This review is from: Overcoming Spiritual Barriers in Japan (Paperback)
I was very excited to find out about this book. My wife and I have a burden for Japan. While we would love to be missionaries there someday we are not at that point yet. This book provides some very valuable insight on how to pray for Japan. It takes a look at some of major choices that were made by a select few and the ramifications that are still be felt today. I highly recommend this book as a historic spiritual reference point and as a guide on how to pray for the strong holds in Japan.

This book gives the background as to what holds the Japanese people in such spiritual bondage. After reading it, I sent it to a missionary in Japan. He read it in an hour and agreed with everything written there. For anyone who wants to minister to Japanese, this book is a must!
