In the Meiji Era which began the modernization of Japan, Christian evangelism was also revived. Among those who became Christians were many who worked out their faith in roles in society, including entrepreneurs and managers of businesses that were created. This book briefly describes 20 such people who made great contributions to Japanese society. It is an old story but it is still relevant to us today. As we look at these people we should think how we can make a new start in our time.
