<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this missionary classic, Don Richardson shares the story of how he and his wife risked their lives to share Christ with the cannibalistic Sawi people of New Guinea. Discover how they reached the hearts of these people, and be inspired to communicate Christ in a meaningful way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Cannibals to Christ-Followers--A True Story<br/></b><br/>In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. <i>Peace Child</i> 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 had existed through generations. 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, this missionary classic will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this remarkable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DON RICHARDSON, the bestselling author of" Peace Child, Eternity in Their Hearts," and "Heaven Wins," has been studying the Muslim world for more than 30 years. He and his late wife, Carol, spent 15 years among the Sawi, a Stone Age tribe of Irian Jaya. Don designed an alphabet suited to the Sawi language, authored 19 primers, taught the tribesmen to read in their native tongue, and translated the entire New Testament. More than half of the Sawi accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Since 1977, Don has served as ambassador-at-large for World Team, a mission organization. Don holds an honorary doctorate of literature from Biola University in La Mirada, California, is an ordained pastor, and speaks at more than 40 church conferences each year.
