Book Description
The road to the stars was paved with danger while he existed, yet my need drove me on to first find a young woman stolen from me and my heart. Pit, the intelligent virus had taken her along with her battleship. Now, after five years, a drone had found it and now I followed with a vengeance in my heart, and perhaps my death at the end. One of us had to die; I could not let Pit escape again. My mission and the lives of every human man, woman and child depended on me completing this. The Stacci, a benevolent alien race had changed my body so much that although I looked human and thought of myself as human, it ended there. I was almost as much a machine as Pit and only one of us could survive once we met again, and that time had almost arrived. There was no going back now.

Book Description
When we say that God is rice . . . we take rice as the symbol of God's gift of life. The provocative title is actually the title of the first essay in the book that explores how the gospel calls us to live in harmony with nature and neighbor, to secure just social organizations and be open to renewal. The Community of the Magnificat is a penetrating study of the interaction between Christ and culture in Asia. The Ethics of Betweeness is a case study of Sozo Tanaka who was one of the pioneers of the ecological movement and the people's movement in Japan. Christ of Wabi is a Christian reflection on beauty in the Japanese cultural context.
