Summary: We loved this book!!
Comment: I read a borrowed copy of this book aloud to my two children ages 8 and 11. We loved the story of John and Helen Dekker moving, with their family, into Toli River Valley area of New Guinea to be with the Dani people.
The work they were allowed to do was very inspiring. It was so interesting to consider explaining and teaching about Jesus and the Word of God to a people that have no knowlege of Him. There were many things that did not have direct paralels with the Dani culture, we enjoyed reading about how the Dekkers conveyed the message. The results were so touching. It reminded me, that each of us is in the same position and can be touched and changed as dramatically as the Dani's were changed by knowing and following Jesus.
The spirit that the Lord imparted to the Dani's under John and Helen Dekker was very precious. They desired to give to others what had been given to them. And they endeavored to do it.
We all loved meeting the different Dani's through the story. We will only travel in wururu's after this, never airplanes. We laughed at the Dani's attempt to convey modesty, cried at their losses and really appreciated the sacrifices that were made by the many people involved in this work, knowing that sacrifices extract a price.
We all agreed that we would need to get our own copy of this book. Another book in a similar vein we enjoyed was "In Search of the Source"--can't remember who it is by.

Summary: Great True story of StoneAge Tribe entry into the 20th Cent.
Comment: This is a very readable account of the emergence
of a tribe that was literally in the Stone Age (no
knowledge of or use of any metal!) into the 20th
Century during the 60's and 70's. These People
are still assimilating into the Indonesian culture
today. Much of the story is about the
evangelisation in a People centered, keep the
culture manner. The book is co-authored by and
about my father - so I have a personal interest in
this story! In fact I grew up as a child in the
midst of it.
