All the Day Long: True-Life Adventures of Missionaries in the Amazon

by Millie Dawson

All the Day Long shares the joys, trials, and adventures of an ordinary family used in extraordinary ways in the lives of an unreached people group -- the primitive Yanomamö Indians of southern Venezuela. After returning from military service in World War II, Joe and Millie Dawson meet, marry, and settle down for what they think will be an ordinary life. But when God transforms their lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the trajectory of their lives changes forever, and they give their lives to sharing the Gospel with people who have never before heard it. God sends this family to the remote Amazon rainforest to serve the Yanomamö people. From their harrowing first encounter with the Yanomamö to daily life and ministry, you will laugh, cry, and pray with the Dawsons as you read All the Day Long. This true story of how God used Joe and Millie Dawson will challenge your faith, remind you of God's faithfulness, and open your eyes in new ways to the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Wow.....this was like reading an adventure novel, but it was true!!!! Amazing story of a young couple back in 1953, who become God-led missionaries to the rainforests of Venezuela and the Yanomamo people, along with 2 of their very young children. This memoir written by the mom, Millie Dawson, as she remembers the amazing way that God saw them through incredible times, both good, bad and ugly, in miraculous ways. I could NOT put this book down!!!! I was encouraged in my own faith by reading this family's story. So thankful that Millie decided to share her story to encourage not only me, but also so many others who pick up this book as well. To God goes the glory!

Such a good story about missionaries in Venezuela . I am always amazed that through hardships and trials, missionaries still choose to stay and serve.

I listened to the book on BBN Classics. Lynn Brooks, the narrator, did an excellent job.
