Synopsis

Aboard the Aquitania, Rachel became aware of something strange happening to her. It was as if she were not on the deck of the ship anymore but was instead in a jungle clearing, looking at a group of brown-skinned, half-naked people. The people beckoned for her to come. Suddenly the scene vanished, and Rachel fell to her knees and prayed.
When young Rachel Saint surrendered her life to God, she began an unimaginable journey that would span decades and radically transform a dying culture steeped in revenge. Against all odds, God would lead her to Ecuador's Waorani Indians - known as Aucas, or savages, and infamous for murder.

Despite the martyrdom of five missionaries by Waorani spears, Rachel boldly persisted in following God. In one of the greatest testimonies to God's grace and power in our time, this pioneering Bible translator would live for two decades with her own brother's killers, for the joy of seeing them become brothers and sisters in Christ. (1914-1994)

This was not given 5 stars because it was so well written, but because Rachel Saint has always been my personal missionary hero. She went to Ecuador, the country of my heart, and she made it her mission to reach the Waorani Indians (the ones who killed her brother). I only hope that one day the Shua......more

Goodreads review by Jeff

Love Rachel’s desire to live out God’s purpose for her life, especially considering it involved a trade-off between a life filled worldly riches and luxury and a as life filled with danger and physical poverty. Rachel is an example of the spiritual wealth that is a result of living in obedience to G......more
