Butuh waktu lama buat menyelesaikan ini, selain karena topiknya yang lumayan berat juga karena kemahiran Shuusaku Endou menuliskan perang batin manusia di hadapan situasi-situasi yang bikin mereka nggak berdaya.

Satu lagi buku pemberian Kak Henny, terima kasih Kak!♡

It’s hard to review a book like this. It’s very deep and thought provoking, a book to linger over long after finishing it. Not a light read. And while I knew the basic plot of the story, I was surprised by my strong reaction to it. There were tears at some points. While I don’t agree with all the authors conclusions, it was a great book that I would highly recommend.

A deep meditation on what makes true faith, the challenges of contextualization, suffering and persecution, and coming to terms with past failures. A challenging and yet striking and thought-provoking read.
