Book Reviews of Peace Child (International Adventures)
Book Review: Don't miss this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
How can it be anything but a series of miracles that a missionary couple and their children would even want to venture into tribes of cannibals and headhunters where no white man had been seen, survive and thrive and bring many to Yahusha the Savior? Nowadays some feel it is politically incorrect to take the Gospel into pagan areas and change their culture. The cannibals in this srory saw it differntly. Their lives of treachery,
butchery, fear and horror were not exactly Edenesque. While others are making names for themselves in politics, Fortune 500 or wherever, I suspect this couple's names are famous in Heaven. It is not just reading of the lives that were transformed that was so transfixing, but how much we see the grace of the Father in leading to that transformation, and how the book helps us to see what our basic human nature is without the Scriptures and their impact on our culture.
Summary of Peace Child (International Adventures)
Among the headhunting Sawi of Irian Jaya, treachery was an ideal that generations of their people had perfected. The heroes of Sawi legend weren't those who took the greatest number of heads in battle or ambush, but those who were the most deceitful in befriending their victims before they took their heads.When missionaries Don and Carol Richardson searched for the key that would open the gospel to the Sawi, God moved in a stunning way. He revealed His true Peace Child--the ideal fulfillment of the Sawi's own redemptive analogy. "Peace Child" chronicles the agony--and the triumph--of the Richardsons' unforgettable sojourn among this people loved by God.
