  • "The Sawi people of the former Netherlands New Guinea are one of an estimated four hundred tribes in the western half of New Guinea now called West Irian or Irian Jaya. In 1962, Carol and I went to live among the Sawi. In recognizing that the idealization of treachery was a part of the Sawi view of life, we understood why we felt a certain culture shock in living among them. Yet we had been sent there by God to win them, to overcome within a few short years this idealization of treachery which had been part of their way of life over centuries, possibly millenniums, of time. The key God gave us to the heart of the Sawi people was the principle of redemptive analogy -- the application to local custom of spiritual truth. As Carol and I ministered to the Sawi by means of the "peace child" and other redemptive analogies, we watched in suspense to see if the Spirit of God would actually use this means of communication for the regeneration of these cannibalistic, head-hunting people. He did! Peace Child chronicles the agony -- and the triumph -- of our attempt to probe one of the world's most violent cultures to its foundations and then to communicate meaningfully with members of that culture. - Author's introduction."
  • "Autobiografisch verslag van een Canadese zendeling, die samen met zijn vrouw in de jaren zestig en zeventig van de twintigste eeuw werkzaam was onder de Sawi-Papoea's op Nieuw-Guinea."
  • ""In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child tells their unforgettable story of living among these headhunters and cannibals who valued treachery through "fattening" victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology"--Amazon."
  • "Sin haber superado la edad de piedra hasta 1962, aún aislados de todos, con la excepción de algunas tribus, el pueblo sawi, de Nueva Guinea, estaba formado por caníbales y cazadores de cabezas que ponían port almohada el cráeo de sus víctimas."

Peace Child tells their unforgettable story of living among these headhunters and cannibals who valued treachery through fattening victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The "peace child" became the secret to unlocking a value system that existed through generations over centuries, possibly millenniums, of time. This analogy became a stepping-stone by which the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual and a social revolution from within. With a epilogue updating how the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, this missionary classic will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us. --back cover."
