Reflections on "The Peace Child"

Reflections on "The Peace Child" By Don Richards The book that I read for the second missions’ book report was, Don Richardson’s book Peace Child. This book gives an account of the missionary work among the Sawi tribe of then Netherlands New Guinea, carried out by Don Richardson son and his wife. This is a story of the change that came about when the truths of scripture are presented. I have wanted read this …

…it was clearly understood by the Sawi people. This Book was a book that I wanted to read but never finished reading. At times this book was funny as you see certain misconceptions of white mans food, clothing lantern, and other things of the sort; yet it is sad to see the depravity of this stone age tribe. It is good to know that God’s redemptive plan reaches to those in a forgotten swamp.
