David Lithgow burned his school books with relief. He had no further need of them – he was going to be a cattleman. Or so he thought. This book unfolds the story of how he came to enter the field of medicine, then Bible translation – a very different path to what he had originally planned.
This is a remarkable story of how a people group in PNG found a reason for living. The Binumarien people had faced certain extinction. Warfare had scattered and broken them. By 1959, their numbers had dropped to just over 100. Read how the coming of the Scriptures in their own language turned it all around.
If you have ever pondered on why and how the world began, you will find some answers in this book. If you have ever wondered if there is a god and if so, what is he like, or what the existence of the God of the Bible means for humanity, you will find help here. If you have had difficulty in answering questions about God, regarding who or what He is and how He can be three persons but one at the same time, this book provides you with the answers. It also tackles different opinions regarding science and faith without the use of technical jargon and gives insight into the paranormal aspects of life.

Peter looked up and saw the first of three consecutive waves, each over 30 feet high, throwing up a huge cloud of mist as it enveloped a friend’s house and threw it into the lagoon like a piece of driftwood.
