This is an inspirational story of Takashi Nagai, scientist, father, husband and disciple of Christ. It is extremely well written, blending throughout its pages the history and lessons learned leading up to the fateful day when an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. It continues with Nagai’s journey after the bomb was dropped and how his life transformed countless others who suffered from that incident. This book contains many prophetic comments, especially about life’s sufferings.

Excellent book about WWII and A-bomb effect in Nagasaki; Conversion to Catholicism; courage under extreme illness; life in Nagasaki. I will read it again and again.

I’m glad I read this book. It was so inspiring to read about the life of this man and how faith changed him.

Beautiful bookIt is an inspiration to all read it and will help you deal with the realities of life.

This book is truly inspirational. The faith, courage, love that Nagai experienced is an example of true faith that everyone should read. I am truly a better person for reading this book and hope to live my daily life with the joy , thankfulness and acceptance that Nagai lived his life. Nagai’s story helped me re-affirm my faith in God and re-enforce the notion that even in despair we can have hope.

Great story of strength - mental and physical!! A quick read that easily maintains your attention. A very reasonable Saint candidate!!

There are many ways to look at this wonderful book. One way involves insight into the factors that led Japan to have such a hatred for the US. A major one was punishing tariffs and another the demonizing of Asians as the "yellow plague." Proper diplomatic relations on both sides could have prevented this war.But it is also a book about providence and suffering. It's also the conversion story of a hardened materialistic atheist.All in all, I came to love Takshi Nagai. Please pray for us, Takashi.

An inspirational story of the power of faith in the midst of the worst imaginable suffering. Nagai’s writing is a timeless prayer for hope, peace, and unconditional love in a world plagued by hate, discord, and war.
