This book by Graham Orr, a former missionary and pastor in Japan, tells the story of his development as a missionary evangelist, drawing on the Scriptures and his experiences in understanding and engaging with the very different culture within which he and his family had settled.
His progress — and the impact of his life and words — frequently surprised him. He learned to observe and to listen, to ask occasional questions — and to learn from regular confusion. He provides a fascinating insight into the way that God uses our whole life — personalities, habits, deeds and instinctive reactions, as well as our spontaneous words – as a powerful means of opening up other people to the gospel.
