"Years ago, I heard about a book called, "Peace Child." The people who talked about it spoke very highly of its author. So I acquired the book and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since. The book is a first-hand account of the Richardson's missionary work among the tribal people of Western New Guinea, Indonesia. As soon as I began reading, I was captivated! The writing is full of color, and overflows with rich spiritual truths. One can't help but be in awe of God's power to transform the most pagan cultures into loving, faithful Christians."
"I wish I could give it 3 and a half stars. But I can't so i'll give it 4 stars. I don't know if I would have kept reading it if I wouldn't have had to (I read it for school). It turned out ok in the end."
"One of my all-time favorite books. It is a compelling story about a missionary who finds a way to reach the hearts of a primitive jungle tribe. For the Sawi, treachery was a way of life where friendships were fosters for the purpose of the highest form of treachery-slaughter. I could not put the book down."
"Don Richardson's account of his struggle to bring the message of the Gospel to a people who revered treachery and deceit so highly, they admired Judas for his betrayal of Christ."
