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.

The awsome story of one mans journey to reach out and save a civilaztion. very well written and layed out. A great read, you feel as if you know Nate by the end of the book.

A must read!!!

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!

See the heart of a missionary who truly believes in
Jesus. Trust, Faith, Forgiveness. Very powerful book.

This is a slightly better written book than many others in its series. It accurately portrays Nate Saint as the brilliant, strong, selfless man of God that he was during his brief life on earth. The dramatic story of a real Christian role-model, and certainly worth a buy. Many aviators could learn from his feats as well.

A great read for any age. Will take you on a journey of selfless sacrafice and the reality of a real missonary who gives the ultimate sacrafice for the love of Christ. A book you can't put down until the end.

While in my teen years I remember so vividly the
tales that were told concerning the killing of the
Missionary Aviation Fellowship crew by the Auca Indians.
It was a horrific story. So, the opportunity to find
out the 'inside' details through this book was something
so powerful. Its certainly a 'must-read' for Christians
of my generation.

Nate Saint: On a Wing and a Prayer is a fantastic book that depicts one of the greatest stories ever told. It is a story of unbelievable forgiveness and compassion. As much as one desires a different ending, no other ending would have impacted so many lives for eternity. If you are a believer, it is a MUST read. If not, it is still a great historical retelling of unbelievable sacrifice and compassion for humanity.
