À propos de cet audio
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.

Canadian Missionary Don Richardson describes how a relatively obscure intertribal wartime sacrificial tradition - the Peace Child - became the key to teaching The Word. God also arranges other events that make the saving of the Sawi people possible (the empathy-inducing near-loss of Richardson's own children in a tragic accident and the miraculous recovery of an apparently dying tribesman).
Richardson writes with a documentary style that relates the events beautifully but lacks inspiration somewhat.
As to presentation: Reader Paul Michael delivers commendable diction, timbre, cadence, and tone - as well as impressive interpretations of the Sawi language when the text calls for it. He very occasionally sounds as though he's reading a book lying open on his lap, but this Christianaudio.com product is above-average overall.
Altogether, 'Peace Child' merits 6 stars out of 10. It’s a captivating example of missionary work in the most challenging of conditions and worth a read - although your Credit might be spent better elsewhere.
[Note: the use of genuinely bizarre cultural traditions like the ritualistic desecration of loved-one's rotting corpses to teach God's word is inspiring]
