In this narrative, uniquely told through letters to her granddaughters, Linda shares how she stumbles into adventures most grandmas could not imagine—like facing a charging hippo. It's a chronicle of God's heart, his delightful creativity, and His amazing power to help those in need.

Don Richardson, author of Peace Child, says this of Martha Duff Tripp's account of her adventures, with colleague Mary Ruth Wise, while living among the Amueshas of Peru: "Float-plane landings on obstacled rivers, jungle trekking, bobbing down rapids, scaling precipitous ridges et al. were only a physical part of their incredible journey. Even more challenging was their quest to know the hearts and minds of Amuesha people, to share the feelings, fears and crises of a minority culture faced with the danger of drowning under the backwash of civilization." Tripp helped translate God's Word into their language and witnessed the power of the translated Scriptures to change lives—to the degree that Amuesha believers themselves established 45 churches.

Nestled in the mountainous hinterlands of the Philippine Cordillera, the Ifugao people of Batad have lived for centuries, eking out a living in upland sweet potato fields and in the extensive rice terraces they carved out of the mountains.

For many years, the Ifugao people led a complex and ritualistic life, appeasing hundreds of deities. Every aspect of their lives was controlled through sacrifice and communication with the spirit world. To prevent violent death, the heads of their enemies were taken through warfare and ambush along trails. The practice of head-hunting was central to their worship and, although the American and Philippine governments essentially put an end to the practice, the ritual lived on.

Written by a former director of Wycliffe Canada, the late Len Newell, it's the story of the trials, failures, joys, and successes of a completely non-Christian tribal group as they embrace the Christian faith and the compelling message of God.
