You MUST find this book and read it! Seriously! I've seen the DVD, but trust me, the book is a thousand times better!By way of introduction:
"Steve Saint was only five years old when his father was brutally killed by Waodani warriors, men from the most savage culture ever known. But in a story almost too amazing to be true, Steve eventually comes to know -- and even love -- the very ones who drove the spears into his father's body.
Decades after their lives were changed by learning to walk God's trail, the Waodani asked Steve to return to the jungle with his family to live among them and teach them how to interact with the encroaching outside world. Striving to mesh his two very different worlds, Steve must fact the tragic events of his past and learn to fully trust God through terrible danger, great loss, and remarkable joy."
A fascinating read. And you can find out more about Steve and the business he started called I-Tec (Indigenous People's Technology and Education Center) at http://www.itecusa.org/. The book has a surprising - and very sad - ending, but also a joyful one.
Fiction was never better! Please check out this book. You'll be glad you did!
