In adulthood, Steve, having left Ecuador for a successful business career in the United States, never imagined making the jungle his home again. But when that same tribe asks him to help them, Steve, his wife, and their teenage children move back to the jungle. There, Steve learns long-buried secrets about his fathers murder, confronts difficult choices, and finds himself caught between two worlds. Soon to be a major motion picture (January 2006), End of the Spear brilliantly chronicles the continuing story that first captured the worlds attention in the bestselling book, Through Gates of Splendor. I had previously read several of the books written by some of the widows of the five missionaries who were speared to death in the Ecuador jungle while trying to reach indigenous tribes for Christ. The story of the five missionaries touched the hearts of many, many people around the world. I was deeply touched by the story of what happened in the jungles of Ecuador to these five young men seeking to serve and obey Gods calling on their lives. I was very pleased to come across Steve Saints book. I felt like it was the next chapter in the story that continues long after the deaths of the five missionaries. Steves story shows that the deaths of the missionaries were not in vain. He shares how the door was opened for his Aunt Rachel to live among and minister to the Waodani Indians for many decades. Amazingly, Steve feels the call of God on his life to take his wife and children and live among the very people who were responsible for his fathers and the other four missionaries deaths. Although, he struggles greatly with this decision, as does his wife, they are obedient to God and move to the Amazon to live among the Waodani. Its amazing to me how Steve and his family were so loved and accepted by the Waodani and how they come to love these precious people in return. To see how such people from two incredibly different worlds come together and accept each other as family is simply amazing and shows the strength of love and forgiveness in the human heart. I feel like reading this book gave me some sense of closure to what was such a tragic situation originally. To see how God worked through this tragedy to ultimately bring the gospel to the Waodani, demonstrates the biblical truth that what the devil meant for evil God turns around for good!!!!! To see how God healed the hearts of Steve and those affected by the deaths of the five missionaries and how they ultimately accepted this once brutal tribe into their hearts and lives shows the strength and power of Gods love. Fantastic read which I recommend to all. End of the Spear in Christian Books and Bibles pdf books End of the Spear The End Spear of It's an interesting, and also appalling, contrast.

  • The End of the Spear
    The End of the Spear One will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die, but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him. Romans 5:7-9 NIV So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 ESV The End of the Spear is the true story of five missionaries who were willing to risk their lives to teach the Waodoni tribe in Ecuador of God’s saving grace. They studied the tribe and prayed for them regularly. Their whole families wanted the Waodoni tribe to come to know Jesus as Savior. Is there anyone that you would risk your life to save? Is there someone who would risk their life for you? Nate Saint, the missionary pilot, told his son, Steve, that the Waodoni’s violent ways were like a trap, a prison they couldn’t escape from. There are many traps and prisons that keep people from living life to its full potential. Anger, fear and self-doubt keep us from becoming the people that God created us to be. The Bible tells us that God wants us to be free. What are some things that keep you captive? Can you forgive those who have hurt you? God uses us ordinary people in extraordinary ways when we let Him.
