Nate Saint On a Wing and a Prayer (Christian Heroes: Then & Now) (Christian Heroes, Then & Now) [Paperback]

Geoff Benge (Author), Janet Benge (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1998 | Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up | Series: Christian Heroes: Then & Now

Flying soon captured Nate's heart. His air service ministry to isolated missionaries put him on a path of destiny that would ultimately end with a final airplane flight with 4 missionary friends to the "Palm Beach" landing strip in the jungles of Ecuador.
The men's lives given that day not only opened a door to the gospel for the unreached "Acucas"; it has been said that possibly no single event of the twentieth century awakened more hearts to God's call to serve in missions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, life changing story, December 14, 2001

This review is from: Nate Saint On a Wing and a Prayer (Christian Heroes: Then & Now) (Christian Heroes, Then & Now) (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Nate Saint On a Wing and a Prayer (Christian Heroes: Then & Now) (Christian Heroes, Then & Now) (Paperback)

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!
