Book Reviews of A Song for Nagasaki: The Story of Takashi Nagai-Scientist, Convert, and Survivor of the Atomic Bomb
Book Review: A hymn to the spirit of Japan and one of her greatest modern saints
Summary: 5 Stars
The life of Takashi Nagai embodies a paradox: a convert from the traditional religion of Japan to Catholicism, he nevertheless embodied the virtues of the Japanese character - virtues which were expressed through his faith in Christ. This book will appeal to many diverse persons: atheists and agnostics struggling for truth, medical students and physicians, Catholics and missionaries, and students of modern Japanese history and President Truman's criminal atomic bomb holocaust against the Christian city of Nagasaki. But it is primarily the story of a human being whose hard work, self-sacrifice and dedication, along with early weaknesses and failure that he overcame through Christ, offers us a candle in the darkness. This is a fascinating and heart-warming tale of love in the face of harrowing adversity. No one who reads "A Song for Nagasaki" will go away unrewarded.
