Featured Book: “Silence” by Shusaku Endo
Silence, based on the real-life missionary attempts by Portuguese Catholics in historical 1600s Japan, was written by Shusaku Endo in 1966. The book describes the physical, mental, and spiritual trials of priest Father Rodrigues as well as the Japanese Christians who struggle to maintain their faith while under intense persecution.
