5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring reading, 18 April 2000
By ecstjt@bath.ac.uk (Roskilde, Denmark) - See all my reviews
The need to present the Christian message in a culturally relevant way is an important part of Christian ministry today. Don Richardson presents some of his struggles in getting across the message of Christ to the Sawi tribe of Irian Jaya, a group of headhunters. This inspiring book charts the move towards Christ in this group. A must for anyone seeking to outreach to those from a different culture and for anyone wishing to see an example of the movement of the Holy Spirit into even the darkest recesses of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling story from stone age New Guinea, 17 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I have had the good fortune of reading this book (twice), seeing the film, and hearing Don Richardson in person tell this story, and have been thrilled by each vehicle of communication (though I think Richardson's personal telling probably the most vivid.) The Sawi of New Guinea were a people still living at a stone age level when Richardson and his family went to live with them in the early 1960s, and their bizarre cultural customs make for fascinating reading. Their most developed form of treachery was betrayal, to 'fatten an enemy with friendship' before murderously turning on them. When Richardson told the Sawi the story of Christ's life, the real hero to emerge was Judas Iscariot, who had betrayed his close friend. Things changed among the Sawi when Richardson found how they stopped their wars through the means of a Peace Child, exchanged between warring tribes for adoption and peace. Read this fascinating account of what happened next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our God is an awesome God!, 7 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book is awesome. My family first read it when I was about ten. I read it when I was fifteen for school and did a report on it. It is a life changing book which realistically shows what true missions is. It also shows God's amazing grace in a hopeless situation. The way God used the Richardsons is amazing. Praise God!
