Can a Christian follow the way of the sword?

In this concise and powerful exploration, Rev. Takemi Sasamori-a Japanese Methodist minister and master of traditional kenjutsu-bridges the worlds of Bushido, the samurai code, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Drawing from over 70 years of martial arts training and 40 years of ministry, Rev. Sasamori reveals how the warrior virtues of honor, discipline, and self-sacrifice resonate deeply with Christian values. Through thoughtful reflections on the samurai way and biblical teachings, he addresses the spiritual questions many Christian martial artists face today:

  • Are martial arts compatible with Christianity?
  • What can the samurai teach us about following Christ?
  • How can faith and martial discipline coexist?

Part spiritual reflection, part cultural history, this unique book invites believers to discover a Christ-centered path within the warrior's journey. It's ideal for Christian martial artists, students of Japanese culture, or anyone seeking deeper spiritual meaning through the martial path.

The Rev. Sasamori served for over forty years as a pastor and spent over seventy years training in traditional Japanese martial arts. He was regularly featured in Japanese media and was a sought-after speaker on the connection between Bushido and Christianity worldwide.
