Aikido, A Way to God: Christian Spirituality Through the Martial Arts

by Joe Wokoro

God is bigger than we think and cannot be put in a box. Christian saints and mystics saw God in and through all things; yet, modern Christians are afraid to venture beyond non-traditional disciplines and conceptions in their search for God. As Eastern exercises, such as yoga, have become popular in the West, they have been recognized as meaningful means of Christian spiritual growth. This book shows that a Japanese martial art, aikido, can also be a path to God. Drawing upon his experience in aikido and in ministry, as well as training in theology, the author shows how selected principles parallel and are congruent with the Christian message. Each chapter ends with a prayerful reflection for practical application in Christian life.
