Engulfed in the darkness of Irian Jaya's Snow Mountains live the Yali, naked cannibals who call themselves lords of the earth. Yet, in spite of the...

So yesterday I was going through my random stacks of books and bookshelves trying to find a book to blog about and I decided this one would spark some interest. I was given this book to me about a month ago by my history teacher. One of the reasons I find this book interesting is that not only does it talk about the lives of natives, called the Yali, of an island in Indonesia; but it talks about the missionary work of my history teacher's father (my history teacher was also born in Indonesia).

Somewhat of a sequel to Peace Child, Mr. Richardson again captures the reader with his vivid retelling of the missionary work among the Yali tribal people of Irian Jaya. The story this time centers on the work of missionary Stan Dale. It is at different times heart-wrenching, jaw-dropping, and awe-inspiring. Books like this do a great deal to help broaden my perspective and understanding of God’s work throughout the whole world.

A great blessing. This book is a little more intense than Peace Child. The blood of martyrs was the price of admission to the Seng valley. It is sobering to think on these events taking place a little more than forty years ago. We did this as a family read-aloud and I highly recommend it.

Incredible book! Exciting from beginning to end. Really puts your life in perspective and on what is important. I know the daughter of one of the men martyred in this book. I got to hear her story firsthand at a conference in Thailand. A MUST READ---you will encouraged tremendously in your faith.

This is the book that explains the martyrdom of Crissie's dad, Phil Masters. We know that some parts are not totally accurate, but it's still a story worth reading.

God can move mountains to reach the lost of this world if His people will only go forth.

Wow, what an eye-opener. The first-hand accounts in this book show you how dark and oppressive life is without the truth of the Gospel and how wonderful that transforming truth is! The Yali tribes are trapped in a merciless, violent culture with no way of escape. Stan Dale is a rough, tough missionary who is willing to trek into the heart of the jungle to share the truth of the gospel with these isolated cannibals. Just as his courage will inspire you, the effect of his sacrifice will remind you

You should read this book. Especially if you're a missionary in Papua, or know one. Or were one, or know someone who was. :)

If you liked "End of the Spear" you'll love this book. God is so big, and he uses the most awful tragedies to open the heart one tribal man, and open the door to revivial. This book is not for the faint-of-heart!
