5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, heart wrenching story..., March 6, 1998

This review is from: And the Word Came with Power: How God Met and Changed a People Forever (Paperback)

This book has really touched my heart and has shown me that God is so BIG and awesome!!! All the numerous ways that God used Joanne's ministry to bring the Balangaos to Him was incredible. All of the miracles mentioned in the book are amazing, and could have only happened through God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't read this book..., December 13, 2001

This review is from: And the Word Came with Power: How God Met and Changed a People Forever (Paperback)

Don't read this book if you don't want to be convicted of God's awesome power, of the need to 'go ye into all the world', and of the relatively powerless life most American Christians lead. The testimony of Joanne Shetler was an inspiration to me. My God is much greater than I give him credit for being. I intended to merely skim this book as research for a novel I'm working on, but the story compelled me to read every word and then read it--prayerfully--again.

For those looking for an inspirational missions book that is easy to read, look no further. A nice case study on how to reach animists--the right way.
