" I'm reading this book for my Missions class in school, I just started it yesterday. I've been told it's the best book in the class. It's about a tribe of cannibles and the missionary who is used of God to change there way of life by bringing them the gospel. I love to read these types of books because it helps me to see the real reason why I pray for missionaries. These are real people and real places! "

" Really interesting story of learning the culture of an unreached tribe. Brave people! "

" Good book. About God's grace being extended and reveled to all people. "

" Fantastic and inspiring story. This really gives insight into another culture and its struggles. Not necessarily the best written book but the story carries it along and is definitely worth your time. "

" Beautiful book! Missionary work is hard and grueling and might go for decades with no measurable success. Although at this point in my life I am having trouble with the whole idea of missions work. I am leaning more towards the idea that we ought to just leave people alone. "

" I'd give this book ten stars if I could. It was awesome. "

" I was amazed how God speaks to all people in the way they would understand and be able, in turn, to respond to God. This story showed me how God is truly redemptive and significant to each culture. "

" A great, easy read on missions in Papua New Guinea. Richardson tells the story of his life and ministry and how God worked in the hearts of the tribal people. "
