Nate Saint: On a Wing and a Prayer

by Geoff Benge and Janet Benge

Book Overview

Seven-year-old Nate Saint peered wide-eyed over the cockpit of his older brother Sam's Challenger biplane. The eastern Pennsylvania countryside was spread out neatly below him like a fine tablecloth. Nate was determined to remember every moment of this first high-flying adventure.

Customer Reviews

A great book!

This is a slightly better written book than many others in its series. It accurately portrays Nate Saint as the brilliant, strong, selfless man of God that he was during his brief life on earth. The dramatic story of a real Christian role-model, and certainly worth a buy. Many aviators could learn from his feats as well.

Awsome

The awsome story of one mans journey to reach out and save a civilaztion. very well written and layed out. A great read, you feel as if you know Nate by the end of the book. A must read!!!

Inspiring, life changing story

I just finished reading this book aloud to my children, ages 8 and 6. Each day, they begged me to read more. Our family was already familiar with what happened to the five missionary martyrs, including Nate Saint and Jim Elliot. After reading this book, we all felt that we were a part of Nate Saint's family, and we wept at the end of the book. The book was very well-written and very appropriate to read to children, but also very interesting for my husband and myself. In fact, about halfway through with my children, I finished reading it myself while they were asleep. Nate Saint's story was very challenging to all of us to fully devote our lives to Christ.

Wonderful, inspirational book!

This book is all about a Christian man that gave his love of flying planes to God. This inspriational story about Nate Saint tells of his life, from his childhood, to his tragic death in Ecuador. Nate was actually a martyr for God. By the death of his friends and himself, he acutally opened up the door for others to minister to the savage Auca tribe. This is a wonderful book, I highly reccommend it!
