End of the Spear

Amazing story. It continues to touch hearts today all these years after initial tragedy. God meant it for good!

Simply amazing. Thoughtful, touching, solemn, and even humorous! Everyone needs to read this story, it is too good and too inspiring to pass up!

What a gripping story. Enjoy every minute of it. Heartfelt, humble and spirit filled.

I love how honoring this book is. More than anything, you feel the love of God that bridges generations, socio-economic status, and culture. I have friends who know Steve Saint, he's the real deal.

Inspirational and heart warming! Praise God for this interesting and powerful testimony. I loved it! - Daisy in Australia

The truth so well told and knowing it’s the history of a tribe who did not know Jesus what victory from great sadness.

The power of Almighty God is illustrated by the biographical story of those who make up the characters in this book.

Such an amazing book. It encouraged me in my faith. I look forward to watching the movie for the second time. And I recently heard of dear Grandpa Mincaye’s death, whom by reading this book, I learned to love. I wish I could have met him and the many others who make part of this wonderful story. Thank you, Mr. Saint for writing the story God planned. This book has impacted me greatly.

I was completely engaged by this story. I too believe that God uses all things for good, but the Saint family paints a vivid picture of that truth.

I was overwhelmed by the beautiful discription of what God can do to redeem tradgerdy and bring hope, life, and salvation from it. Lives surrendered to God have a ripple effects that impact multiple others, bring them life and hope, and giving glory to God far beyond what we could hope or imagine. It is the hidden acts of obedience that God may use in unimaginable ways. The humble being lifted up as examples of His grace and love. I highly recommend this story of hope.

Steve's father, Nate Saint, was killed by the Waudoni people in 1956. This is the storyof Steve going to live with the same people, at their invitation, for a year and a half (andhis family). Wonderful story, well told.

A worthy sequel to Through Gates of Splendor. Awesome story.

This is an excellent book. I have heard Elisabeth Elliott speak about her experiences, and really enjoyed the additional details of that story from another perspective. Then, the story continues. God’s work in all of their lives is so evident.

In addition to the story being captivating, it is well written and engaging. The narration is also well done. All around a good read and I will be recommending it to friends.

Steve Saint's father was a missionary to the South American tribe known for their violence, the Waodani, also known as the Aucus (savages). He grew up in their village before his father and several other men were brutally stabbed to death by the tribe. Now as a grown man, Steve returns to these people learning to forgive and lead them to Christ.

The story has a lot of detail with indigenous names that I admit I skipped. But always being fascinated by indigenous tribes, the book overall was a good read. Eventually about a fourth of the tribe turn back from their savage ways and embrace Christianity.

Steve eventually takes his family (wife, two sons, and a daughter) to live among these people. This is a true story and is told from Steve's point of view. At times, it seemed a bit too easy - not the hardships of travel, food, sanitation, etc, but the acceptance this family received from the people.

Eventually Steve and two of the men return to the United States and basically go on a speaking tour. The book does accurately show the pull of modern civilization and traditional ways. The oil companies, the government of Ecuador, and other outside interests are a constant threat. He also speaks very freely about "doing too much" which makes the tribes even more dependent. Interesting. Might try to watch the movie made from the book.

Hard to find an opening adjective to describe this book. I had been following the story of the missionaires that were speared to death and was aware that something wonderful had come of this tragedy. Steve Sant's book has helped me to get a glimpse of God's working in our world. Truly "His ways are not our ways" Don't miss the DVD.

I preferred the movie. This book is difficult to follow at times; the author jumps around a bit, past/present/future. If you can get past this and stick with it, it's an inspirational story and communicates God's amazing sovereignty.

Gripping, touching, one of the most intense reports of God's forgiveness and grace.
