A new life begins. In the rain forest they meet a little Yanomamo shaman, who later becomes known to them as Bautista and to the outside world as Chief Shoe Foot.

Wow!

If you are interested in missionary work at all, especially in South America, this is a "must-read". I sat in awe of the simple faith that inspired such an amazing story. This book is the American missionary side of the FANTASTIC book, "Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman's Story" by Mark Andrew Ritchie. Today, most of us wait until the exact right time with the exact right funding and support and all the common sense we can muster before we move. The Dawsons show us that when God calls, moving in faith is more important that moving in logic. Highly recommended!

The very rhythm of my heart

From time to time a book comes into ones life and moves both heart and soul. I too was there, I too saw those people that I came to love and admire, saw their difficulties and triumphs. If ever I doubted you (this goes for both Joe & Millie Dawson and my own amazing parents), if I ever doubted your heart and devotion for these people and for your Lord, well I don't any longer. You have inspired me again; you have moved my spirit in a way that I thought would never be again. Truly these "ordinary people" were and still are quite remarkable. Read this book and have your heart and soul touched like it has never been touched before...

I was there (at least for part of it)

As I read the story I couldn't help but remember so many of the things Mom was talking about. As child # 10 I wasn't there for all of them but even so, most of the stories in the book were told to me from the time I was a small child. It was wonderful to hear about all the times God reached down and worked miracles. And then, as I got older, to see then first hand. I am truely blessed to have such a family.
