In the Event: Living With an Earthquake (FriesenPress $29.95) is a firsthand account of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan. Mark B. Jabusch, a Christian missionary living in Sendai at the time, guides readers through the chaos of that day and the long recovery that followed. His story blends personal memoir with survival insight, offering not just a timeline of disaster, but a reflection on the strength of community and the role of faith in times of crisis. Jabusch writes: “Disaster strikes everywhere, and millions of people suffer loss … Victims whom I will never meet need their stories told.” In the Event speaks to the resilience found in ordinary lives under extraordinary pressure. Jabusch is a long-time contributor to language teaching and theological publications. 9781685135973
