What would you do if telling the truth meant losing everything?
Justo Takayama Ukon was a respected samurai-honored, wealthy, and powerful. But when he was ordered to renounce his Christian faith, Justo faced a choice that would cost him his land, his title, and ultimately his life.
This beautifully illustrated true story follows Justo's journey from disciplined warrior to faithful martyr, revealing a courage guided not by swords or armor, but by love of Christ.
Written with reverence and care for young readers, The Samurai Who Would Not Bow invites children to reflect on faithfulness, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be strong when the cost is great.
