The book is split into three sections: A Brief Outline of Japan’s History Becoming a Friend Witnessing to Japanese People Each section highlights things to be aware of when speaking to someone from Japan and how cultural differences might impact how they relate to you. The book encourages you to form genuine friendships and to invite them into your life as well as into your faith. Hugely practical, this book will be invaluable to anyone who longs to tell their Japanese neighbour about Jesus.  There are several additional resources included, such as suggested further reading, where to find Japanese Bibles and Bible study materials, and useful contacts. The appendix includes: 10 ways to build relationships 10 ideas for helping Japanese practically 10 key aspects of Japanese culture 10 obstacles to communicating the gospel 10 ways to get involved where you are now 10 issues to cover when discipling

This guide will be a very useful resource for anyone wanting to engage with Japanese peopleIt 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.

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.
