A missionary's wife, six months pregnant, arrives at a remote village in the jungles of Papua, Indonesia, with her husband and three young children. Together, under primitive living conditions, they face a multitude of challenges including malaria, native superstitions, and rat infestations. With warmth and humor Lunow's engaging prose details the first four years of missionary life out of which emerges the beauty and triumph of family and faith. A great read for all denominations.
