PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Here is their unforgettable story of living among these headhunters and cannibals who valued treachery through fattening victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The peace child became the secret to unlocking a value system that existed through generations over centuries, possibly millenniums, of time. This analogy became a stepping-stone by which the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual and social revolution from within. With an epilogue updating how the gospel impacted the Sawi, this missionary classic will inspire a new generation of readers to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating with Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.

Critic Reviews

“"Paul Michael's resonant voice and deft narration capture the risk taht misionaries Don and Carol Richardson took in 1962 when they moved to New Guinea...Michael's understated portrayal of tribalism, headhunting, and cannibalism sounds fully authentic...Michael's polished performance of what the Sawi tribes deemed honorable is chilling and hard to forget. This unforgettable story demonstrates some of the personal costs of missionary work."”
