Shiokari Pass

This book is based on a true story of a man's incredible spiritual journey and conversion. We first meet him when he is a ten-year-old boy. I loved reading about the spiritual and developmental journey of this man (called in the story, Nabuo Nagano). His conclusions about life and the teachings of Jesus inspire me to be a better person and disciple of Jesus Christ. This book is credited with helping change the perception of Christians in Japan. There used to be huge prejudices against them. The original Japanese version of this book was a best-seller in Japan in the late 60's and early 70's.
