“Seiichi has written about his ministerial experiences in a way that brings to life the challenges and uncertainties of devoting one's life to helping others.  I was deeply moved by his vulnerability in sharing and the heartwarming ways in which "fate" or God came in at just the right time along the way.  Reading his manuscript has resulted in his touching my heart.”

“As another Campus Minister at UBC during the same years, I was proud to know and work with Seiichi on the same campus doing parallel work in another Christian church. His reminiscences of those years were very much like my own, sometimes we worked with the same people. Questions of faith, life and death, spirituality, sexuality, relationships and life planning touched all of our students' lives wherever we found them and welcomed them. As campus ministers we crisscrossed the campus making contacts, providing a home away from home, and showing our students how to use their lively intellects to choose good life directions for themselves. We were blessed in our work and

Seiichi has given us a touching record of how his lived experience interacted with his message and blessing.”
