God Spoke Tibetan: The Epic Story of the Men Who Gave the Bible to Tibet

I am a huge fan of biographical and history books, however, many of them are hard to get into as many read like a dictionary (and I'm a linguist). "God Spoke Tibetan" is a rare exception. From page one, this work or art gripped me like a John Grisham novel. Allan Maberly takes the account of the translation of the first Tibetan Bible and places the reader right into the action. It reads like a novel, with a full blown plot: conflict, solution, resolution, and conclusion. I felt the fears, frustrations as well as the triumph and relief of the characters. For anyone interested in missions, Bible Translation, or just a good rendition of a historical account, "God Spoke Tibetan" is a must read.
