Review: SILENCE by Shisaku Endo

This is a novel about very early missionaries to Japan. It is also considered by many to be one of the greatest novels ever written in Japanese. Those things said, this isn't a happy book. It's mostly about hardship. Torture and apostasy happen. It is a difficult book, but a worthwhile one.

I don't recommend this book simply because it's hard. I do it because it teaches important lessons, especially that God is worth whatever we have to endure for him.
