Summary

An Unforgettable Story of Primitive Jungle Treachery in the 20th Century

In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child tells 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 a social revolution from within.

With an epilogue updating how the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, Peace Child will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.

Rivetting

A rivetting story from beginning to end. Don Richardson's account of his missionary work among the tribes of New Guinea is tremendouly engaging. They are a head-hunting, cannibalistic people who highly value treachery as an attribute. His task, along with his wife, is to bring the love of Jesus and the power of the gospel to them. The well-paced, easy tone of Paul Michael's narration brings the story to life.

An amazing story

Opened my eyes to people's bravery. I felt like I was in the story. I was moved to tears in some parts and in awe of the things that God does. I really enjoyed listening.
