'Few people could have written this deeply redemptive book. In order to write such a book, one needs to be gifted in a number of interrelated ways, which is uniquely the case with Ken Shigematsu. First, he has a wonderful capacity to see what is going on in our souls beyond what we choose to divulge. Second, Ken is also an engaging storyteller--around Vancouver many of us refer to him as the 'master storyteller.' Stories that touch the heart with liberating mercy. And third, Ken is not ashamed to say he feels shame. For someone of Asian descent that is not easy to do. But he has found deep grace to heal his shame; or, as I should say, Deep Grace has found him and has healed his shame. Read this book and you will find shame not only being covered but washed away in God's love. And you will find yourself, your true self, in the love of God.'
