Missionary Joys in Japan: Or Leaves from My Journal is a memoir by Paget Wilkes, chronicling his experiences as a Christian missionary in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is a collection of personal anecdotes, observations, and reflections on his work and life in Japan, including his interactions with Japanese people, his struggles with language and cultural barriers, and his efforts to spread the gospel of Christianity. Wilkes also discusses the challenges he faced as a foreigner in a country that was largely closed off to outsiders, and the impact his work had on the people he encountered. Throughout the book, Wilkes emphasizes the joys and rewards of missionary work, as well as the importance of understanding and respecting different cultures. Missionary Joys in Japan provides a unique perspective on the history of Christian missions in Japan, and offers insights into the challenges and rewards of cross-cultural exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
