Publisher's Synopsis
Ninja's are famous for many reasons but they are often not thought of as being spiritual people. Real life Ninja and Kabutan Ninjutsu Grandmaster Mike Lafrance takes us on a spiritual journey through sharing 5 vital lessons that increased his spirituality and relationship with Jesus Christ. From hand to hand combat, weapons combat and trips to Japan, Mike Lafrance helps capture our attention through these great lessons and connections to scriptures. This book helps its readers connect the dots of their own experiences through not just reading the scriptures but responding to them in more personal ways. This book is great for youth, young adults and all spiritual seekers of all ages. From the Author: This book is based on a few powerful lessons I have learned over the years as a martial arts student, instructor and founder of my own Ninjutsu system. As I look back on these lesson's years later, I begin to see some very powerful principles that directly connect to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have enjoyed connecting my experiences with those from the scriptures and in so doing have been able to respond to these scriptures in ways that have been joyful and spiritually motivating. Spiritualjutsu is not a new martial art that can be studied at a local dojo but rather a method of techniques that increase our spiritual capacity or in other words spiritual skills. It's important to understand the breakdown of the words themselves. Look at these word breakdowns: Ninjutsu Nin- Endurance, perseverance and StealthJutsu- Method of Technique and Skill Based on this definition we can see Ninjutsu means that we use specific methods and techniques to develop skills of endurance and perseverance. Now when we look at Spiritualjutsu: Spiritual- Affecting the spirit or soul Jutsu- Method of Technique and Skill Based on this definition we can see Spiritualjutsu means that we use specific methods and techniques to develop the skills that will affect our spirits or souls. My goal is to take you through 5 lessons I have learned through Ninjutsu and Martial Arts and connect them to principles of truth found in the scriptures. These 5 lessons and many others have become the foundation of my Spiritualjutsu! I would also invite each reader to find Jesus Christ in your own personal experiences. Sometimes life is just so busy and noisy that we may miss him standing there, eagerly waiting for us to call out to him. As you read this ask yourself, where has Christ been in my experiences? Where is Christ right now?
