Steve Saint was five years old when his father, missionary pilot Nate Saint, was speared to death by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe. In adulthood, Steve, having left Ecuador for a successful business career in the United States, never imagined making the jungle his home again. But when that same tribe asks him to help them, Steve, his wife, and their teenage children move back to the jungle. There, Steve learns long-buried secrets about his father's murder, confronts difficult choices, and finds himself caught between two worlds.
Steve Saint confronts the difficult, practical outworking of truths in the Bible in his own life with incredible honesty and sincerity. He wrestles with God's sovereign will as he tries to figure out why his dad had to die and his own role in the tribe that killed his dad. One of the men who speared his dad ends up becoming like a father to him. It's a phenomenal display of forgiveness and God's redemption. It's a very easy read because it's such a gripping story and Steve Saint writes beautifully.
I loved everything about this book.
Anyone! It's relevant to everyone because forgiveness and God's love for every person is at the heart of it.
Yes, without reservation!
