I'm serious. <em>Tales from the Tribe</em> is a must read for anyone brave enough to discover what "normal" should be for the Christian life. This no-holds-barred look at missionary life and God's faithfulness on a distant island isn't a collection of random stories from the middle of nowhere. No, Luse has masterfully organized these engrossing tales to ensure that you are taken on a journey--not just into the exotic world of the Patpatar people--but on a spiritual journey of great import. Because Luse honestly shares his shortcomings, fears, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way, he is able to effectively challenge us to live a life worthy of our calling, by holding our lives with open hands...no matter where we live on this planet of ours. If you're sick of being abnormal, get ready. Keep reading. Be changed."</p><p><strong>-Jack Crabtree</strong>, Author of <em>Tipping Our Kings</em> and Church-Planter with Ethnos360</p><p> </p><p>"Not many people can make the 30-hour trip to visit the Patpatar Tribe in Papua New Guinea, but <em>Tales from the Tribe</em> will transport you into a real world that very few people will ever see. It is as close as you can come without physically stepping on the island.</p><p>Aaron and Lori will take you to a remote island in the South Pacific where you will meet the Patpatar. You will visit their huts, learn their customs, and better understand their world. Aaron will share the lessons that God taught them over a lifetime of ministry. You will then be transported back to your home to apply some of these same lessons in your life and community. They will share universal principles that speak to all people, cultures, and times. <em>Tales from the Tribe</em> will open your eyes, challenge your heart, and change your life, if you will allow it."</p><p><strong>-Jim Thomas</strong>, Pastor of Holly Springs Bible Fellowship</p><p> </p><p>"Aaron brings years of firsthand tribal missionary experience into his riveting accounts of his family's ministry among the Patpatar people of Papua New Guinea. It's so hard to put into words what life is like among a culture so different from our own, but Aaron does an excellent job of making that a reality for his readers. Great for reading together as a family, the stories each have a challenge from Scripture and practical application points. If you want to go to the mission field without leaving your house, this is a great book for personal or group devotions. Though you may start out in the comfort of your own home, don't be surprised if you are challenged to stretch your faith and step out into the world of unreached millions!"</p><p><strong>-Neil Burleson</strong>, Personnel Director New Tribes Mission, Papua New Guinea</p><p> </p><p>"Not many Westerners get to spend years of their lives living among remote tribal groups in Papua New Guinea. Without leaving home you will get to experience something of the challenges and stresses Aaron, Lori, and their daughters faced as they moved in, learnt a brand new language and culture and sacrificially served the Patpatar people. Eventually they came to a place where they could share the precious story of Jesus and saw many move on to maturity in Christ. Aaron skillfully utilises each step in the church planting process to draw applications for the reader that will leave you personally challenged to grow in your own commitment to serve God. Although written more as a daily devotional, this is a book that once started, you'll find hard to put down."</p><p><strong>-John Sharpe</strong>, Author of <em>The Tugutil</em> and Member of the Board of Directors of Crossview Australia</p><br>
