Dooman provides a vivid account of his struggles and successes as he works to spread the gospel in a country where Christianity is a minority religion.

Dooman also shares his observations on Japanese society and culture, including their religious practices, customs, and traditions. The book provides a unique perspective on the history of Christian missions in Japan and offers insight into the experiences of a foreigner living and working in a foreign land. Overall, ""A Missionary's Life in the Land of the Gods"" is a fascinating account of one man's journey to spread his faith in a foreign land and his efforts to bridge the gap between two vastly different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
