"God, I don't want to die."
These were the final words John Allen Chau scrawled in his waterproof diary before stepping onto the most forbidden island in the world.
In November 2018, a young American missionary made a secret attempt to bring the Gospel to the Sentinelese, one of the last uncontacted tribes on Earth. Hours later, fishermen watched in horror as shadows on the beach raised their bows. Chau never returned.
Last Days: The True Story of John Allen Chau and the Mission to North Sentinel Island pulls readers into the heart of this extraordinary and deadly collision of faith, survival, and sovereignty. Told with thriller-like pacing and investigative depth, it explores:
The boyhood and faith that shaped Chau's obsession with "the unreached."
His years of survival training, missionary preparation, and secret planning.
The final diary entries that reveal both his fear and burning conviction.
The fatal morning on North Sentinel and the silence that followed.
The global firestorm of debate: Was he a martyr, a reckless invader, or something in between?
With cinematic detail and haunting reflection, Last Days goes beyond the headlines to reveal the man, the island, and the questions that will never be answered.
