Lords of the Earth

I would recommend this book to any Christian who is interested in knowing what is going on in the Mission Field as well as the entire globe. This is a heart moving story. It will bring tears to your eyes as well as joy to your heart. This is how God is spreading His word around the globe. Every soul is precious to His heart.

lords of the earth is an excellent book! every time i read it i am amazed at God's grace and divine providence. don richardson is an excellent writer. his vivid description makes this amazing true story come to life. i've read it several times, and each time i just can't put it down.

This book is probably the best I have read. It puts you in the picture with excelent detail yet easy to read. Not to mention the real life suspense of the Yali mountain tribe people and the sheer guts and determination of missonary Stan Dale. If Speilberg wants to make another great movie like Schindlers List, this would have to be it.
