Peace Child by Don Richardson

I read this one out loud to my kids, ages 8-15 years old. Don Richardson tells what the Sawi culture was like before outsiders came. The culture was violent and glorified betrayal and violence. Don and his wife were able to tell the Sawi about Jesus' life, death and resurrection and to connect the stories of Jesus to parts of the Sawi culture. Many Sawi believed in Jesus and the violence and cruelty in the culture dropped dramatically. Unfortunately, the story ends about 1974. The Sawi homeland has changed a lot since then, and I'd like to know how the people are doing now. -Michele H.
