An Unforgettable Story of Primitive Jungle Treachery in the 20th Century

In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child 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 existed through generations over centuries, possibly millenniums, of time. 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, Peace Child will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.

Excellent True Story of Sawi people of New Guinea

Interesting story of a missionary who went to New Guinea in the 1960s. head hunters

Wow

I thought it started off slow, but I stuck it out and then .. wow.. what an amazing story. So touching and incredible!

Great story, a little long

It was a great story, great writer, enjoyed getting such a different experience. It felt a little long at times, but what a cool account!

What an Amazing God

A tremendous example of God’s grace upon us all; how thankful I am for the Perfect Peace Child that He gave for mankind. This story will not be soon forgotten!

beautiful story of the love of the LORD

it's incredible to read of the way that God has placed his word in the hearts and traditions of all people.

A Redemptive Story of the Wildest Place

I spent time as a child among a few of the peoples mentioned here, the Yali and Dani tribesmen specifically, and grew up in Sentani, where Don Richardson wrote the book. The redemptive story of God’s transformative grace through those peoples as told in this book is life changing. As it shaped and changed the brutal cultures of the Asmat, the Bauzi, the Sentani, the Dani men of the Black Valley, the Kayugar, and the Sawhi, I hope it also leaves a Mark on you, and you come to a better understanding of who God is.

Wow!

amazing story well written I love don Richardson books! what an amazing life he has lived.

An overwhelming story of Gods Love.

On March 15th 2017, my 77th year I had the pleasure of meeting Don Richardson for the first time, never having heard of him before 3 weeks earlier when I was invited to hear him speak. I have been so taken by his calling and ministry I had to read his book. He is by far in a very special group of Gods servants, the likes of Brother Andrew and Cory Ten Boom with others too numerous to list.

Fascinating mission adventure

Not for the faint of heart, but a very powerful true story. I have a huge respect now for missions work.

Inspiring picture of the love and Grace of God

It was such a blessing to see how far away these tribes were from the Truth. After that seeing the love for Christ in the missionaries for these people that thrived off of lying and killing and then eating their victims. God’s grace shined brightly and thousands were transformed to be followers of Jesus! I believe everyone should listen to this story and then let the Lord give a deep love for Himself and others.
