Peace Child
Book • 2005
In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea, a tribe known for their violent customs of cannibalism and treachery.
The book recounts their extraordinary journey and how they used a redemptive analogy from the Sawi's own mythology, the 'peace child,' to introduce the Christian message.
This analogy became a crucial stepping-stone for the gospel to enter the Sawi culture, leading to a spiritual and social revolution.
The narrative includes the Richardsons' struggles, initial failures, and ultimate successes in communicating Christ in a meaningful way to the Sawi people, resulting in significant conversions and a transformation of their society.
