A Song for Nagasaki: The Story of Takashi Nagai a Scientist, Convert, and Survivor of the Atomic Bomb Paperback – October 28, 2009

I am so glad I read this book! Jonathan Roumie, from The Chosen, introduced it during Lent. I was so impressed that I had to read the whole book.Takashi Nagai needs to be known to the world. A humble man of God. Maybe someday he will be made a Saint in the Catholic Church. I will pray for that!

I read this book as part of my Lenten reflections on the prayer app Hallow. I knew nothing about Nagasaki and the Catholic community there before and after the war. An excellent book.

Here it the perfect answer to the Book of Job. A story for people of all faiths and no faith.A biography of a man. Read it. Consume it. Digest it. Pass it on. Then live it to the utmost of your ability. No regrets. Beyond words. A love story of a different kind gifted to all who can hear.

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.

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

This is not a "Catholic book" but rather a marvelous story of a man almost unknown in Western circles, but a man who can make sense out of some of the cruelest moments of life. Yes, it is a conversion story that even today will aid and heal people who are suffering in any number of ways.

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.

A Song for Nagasaki is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read. Our world is filled with negativity and Nagai’s journey is a powerful example of faith that we need in our troubled times.
