Easy Read; Informative

I read this one to my kids. It was informative for me but clear enough for my young children to appreciate the hard and amazing work of this key producer for Christ. Townsend's impact on Christian missions and even on language translations generally cannot be appreciated without reading more about; try this title.

A Great Book about a Christian Man!

Cameron goes through to tough times but with God's help he gets through them. In one incident he is giving out Bible tracks. A Cakchiquel man became indignant when Cameron offered him a track in Spanish. "Do you have any in Cakchiquel?" he asked. "There are none, I'm sorry," replied Cameron. "Well," retorted the man, "if your God is so great, why can't he speak my language?" So in that one moment, Cameron Towmnsend understood that God called him to translate the Bible into the language into the language of his Guatemalan friends.
