Slow Brewing Tea

By: Randy Loubier

Narrated by: Robert Chapman

Isaiah set off on a 10 day motorcycle adventure in northern, rural Japan. His quest, at the age of 20, was to photograph the quiet mysterious culture, meet a Japanese woman, and find The Tao (the way). He took stunning photographs, fell deeply in love with an extraordinary Japanese woman, and found an old man willing to teach him the way, the truth, and the narrow gate. Over the next 40 years Isaiah’s life tumbles through lessons of pain and redemption, loss, and victory in search of a path of unconditional love and faith.

Be transformed by a journey into traditional Japan, a mystical land of tea ceremonies, Japanese gardens, rich culture, and unexpected spiritual revelations.

Slow Brewing Tea is an epic spiritual adventure and a touching love story that will compel you to look deeper at your relationships with your God, your spouse, and the path beneath your feet.

For 400 years, the Oda clan kept a secret. In 1593, Oda Nobumasa, the son of infamous Oda Nobunaga, converted to Christianity and to avoid persecution was sent away to the remote mountains of northern Honshu to live as a hermit. For the remainder of his life he studied the mysteries of Jesus and came to a shocking conclusion: Jesus’ teachings are a perfect fit into Japan’s traditions of the Samurai, Wa, the tea ceremony, gardens, and nearly every aspect of Japanese culture. Obedient to a dream from God, Oda Nobumasa hid his discoveries in his tea room scrolls, to remain a family secret, until...

Join Isaiah on this quest; finish, and you will see life, love, and spirituality in a radically new way.

Deceptively Deep and Beautifully Priceless

I listened to this book in 3 days (I drive a lot of miles for work). I couldn't wait to get back to the story in between listens. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style, delivery, and the tremendous story.

There are so many powerful lessons in this book. They are deep yet delivered so simply. The delivery of the story and message held within was done artfully. As in delightful to listen to, pretty to look at, and inspiring to apply.

Well done. I hope that this story is very much true. Our lost cause might just be God’s long game.

Transformation of trauma

Incredible story! Very inspiring and moving in its depth to describe the human experience. The description and style the author uses create a live backdrop as if watching a movie.

Great Listen

I stumbled on this book. I enjoyed the book and the story playing out. Very relatable.

Awesome!

This was one of the best books I have read! A true story of personal transformation, the knitting together of two hearts from across the sea, of finding God, of patience, miracles and grace. I highly recommend!

Pride kills, Jesus Saves

good book if the Christian faith appeals to you. it's well written and entertaining but the "Jesus Saves" narrative was old news so I didn't finish it.
