Book Description

September 15, 2001
More than anything, John wants to be an airline pilot. Fresh from the Vietnam war, he begins his odyssey flying missionaries over the jungles of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. He plans to stay a short time as he gains flying experience. However, he didn't count on meeting Marta, a widowed missionary. In spite of different motivations, the two are somehow drawn to one another. In the midst, both must deal with their feelings as they experience the outcome of tribal warfare, trouble making miners, and humorous villagers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, romance, and a terrific read, September 24, 2001
By 
Jackie Bray (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Under the Lontar Palm (Paperback)
The story line is easy to follow and, though written by a man, the romance was well written. It is a fun book filled with ambitious characters all wanting the Christian faith and fighting to have it.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, suspense, and lots of fun!
This book is well written and I look forward to reading more of Mr. Bennett's book-

I really enjoyed this book. It had both adventure and romance. It's great to read an exciting, don't want to put it down type of book, that has Christian morals in it. I look forward to reading the next book Jeffrey W. Bennett writes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Under The Captivating Lontar Spell, September 26, 2001
By 
M.M. McAdam (Fort Pierce, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Under the Lontar Palm (Paperback)
Under the Lontar Palm was a book that really draws you into the story, the characters and the plot. It is a book that is hard to put down once you start. It gives the feeling of Jan Karon's Mitford Series, where as the characters are believable and likable. You are transformed into the jungle with the characters and don't want to come out.
Under the Lontar Palm is about the struggle between attaining both affluence and success versus doing the will of God. Before the end you will be engrossed in several scenes of intense, page-turning action as well as the evolution of a sweet romance.
At the conclusion, you are left with a feeling that you don't want to leave the characters and wish there was still another chapter.
Highly recommended
