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.

Amazing true story of God's redemption for a culture entrenched in treachery and barbarianism. The apex, the startling moment when the ancient pillars of these New Guinea tribes become the beautiful framework of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Remarkable story of courage and redemption

This is now become one of my favorite books, though the brutality in the beginning had me a bit apprehensive it makes sense to wait and listen with a keen ear as the story continues to unfold. It all makes sense in the end. Our God’s hand is strong and we have received His Peace Child!
