Review

... in a world that must still contend with war, racism and natural disasters, we are grateful to Pastor Sugimura for illuminating one hundred years of American Quakers' work on behalf of our Japanese and Japanese-American neighbors. We hope this book will inspire others to take action in response to injustices wherever they may be. --Shan Cretin, General Secretary, American Friends Service Committee



As you read this book ponder God's love because true expression of love has merit regardless of shape or size. And it is within this heart of love that a deep sense of fulfillment will be discovered. I pray that through this book you will encounter the true value of life and have time to reflect upon your own life.

--Rev. Uytaka Tanabe, Senior Pastor, Mission Valley Free Methodist Church



About the Author

Reverend Tsukasa Sugimura was born in 1950 in Towada city, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from Hirosaki University with a B.A. in Education, he studied geology at California State University, San Jose. Following God's calling, he studied at Tokyo Biblical Seminary and earned a Master of Theology in Missiology from the School of World Missions, at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.



He currently serves as the pastor of the Orange County Christian Church, which is part of the OMS Holiness Church of North America.



While researching the history of the OMS Holiness denomination Reverend Sugimura discovered the role that Quakers had played in the founding of his church, as well as their historic work for social justice. He chose to pay tribute to the Quakers through this book.
