As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

His wife, Traca, was all in favor of it; his kids, especially his 14-year-old daughter, were strongly opposed. Wide-Open World is the totally engaging, bluntly honest story of the Marshall family's life-changing adventure.

Story
Levi Benkert was playing with his children in the park when he received an urgent phone call from a friend asking him to drop everything and fly to Ethiopia to help organize a rescue orphanage for children destined to be murdered as part of a tribal superstition known as "mingi". In tribal culture, children and infants with even the slightest defect are considered "cursed" and are killed by their own parents, who fear allowing the children to live will cause bad luck to descend on the village. Moved by his friend's story, Levi packed his bags and left.

Halima Bashir was born into the Zaghawa tribe, whose customs have remained unchanged for centuries, in the remote western deserts of Sudan in the region of South Darfur. Halima's father named his daughter after the traditional medicine woman of the village, and she grew up in a happy and close-knit childhood environment. Her father became a wealthy man by his tribe's standards, so he could afford to send Halima to school and university. Halima went on to study medicine, and at 24 she returned to her tribe and began practicing as their first ever qualified doctor.

On November 18, 1967, Private First Class Davis' artillery unit was hit by a massive enemy offensive. At 21 years old, he resolved to face the onslaught and prepared to die. Soon he would have a perforated kidney, crushed ribs, a broken vertebra, his flesh ripped by beehive darts, a bullet in his thigh, and burns all over his body. Ignoring his injuries, he manned a two-ton Howitzer by himself, crossed a canal under heavy fire to rescue three wounded American soldiers, and kept fighting until the enemy retreated.

Better than expected.
It’s an interesting store. Even if you are not a believer of God this novel is still yet intriguing.
The End of The Spear is filled with moments of laughter and sorrow while still all being captivating and enthralling. It’s definitely a must read.

A book EVERYONE will enjoy! Don’t miss this one!
I had heard of the story of the deaths of the missionaries but truly didn’t know the story. The history of those events are tragic but this book gives you the REST of the story which is mind-blowing! No matter what you believe about God and faith,you will fall in love with these sweet Amazon folks from Ecuador. I hope you will “see it very well” to listen to this book. Narration is excellent. I only wish I could find another book for a continuation on the lives of all these folks.

One of my favorite books
I was privileged to be able to visit the tribe in 2006, and then meet Mincaye again in the states afterwards. He was a beloved saint. So incredibly joyful and loving. He trusted God with all his heart. I so look forward to seeing him again soon.
I really enjoyed listening to Shadow of the Almighty, followed by Through Gates of Splendor (both by Elisabeth Elliot), then listening to this book. It paints a chronological picture of God giving the five missionaries and their families a heart for these people, how he orchestrated the events to initiate contact with the tribe, which resulted in their untimely deaths. Then this book picks up years later, where we get to see the fruit of those seeds, and the love these dear people now have for the Lord and for others. That fruit has reached far beyond the tribe itself. This story is so amazing. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You won't be disappointed.
