About the Author

DON RICHARDSON, the bestselling author of Peace Child, Eternity in Their Hearts, and Heaven Wins, has been studying the Muslim world for more than 30 years. He and his late wife, Carol, spent 15 years among the Sawi, a Stone Age tribe of Irian Jaya. Don designed an alphabet suited to the Sawi language, authored 19 primers, taught the tribesmen to read in their native tongue, and translated the entire New Testament. More than half of the Sawi accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Since 1977, Don has served as ambassador-at-large for World Team, a mission organization. Don holds an honorary doctorate of literature from Biola University in La Mirada, California, is an ordained pastor, and speaks at more than 40 church conferences each year.

Brother Albert

The missing part of a vast puzzle

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Don Richardson has put a piece of the puzzle together that I knew existed but did not have the background information and missionary experience as he does. Having enjoyed both of his previous books "Lords of the Earth" and "Peace Child", Don pieces together the witness that God has left of Himself in the hearts of mankind throughout their history and cultures. Like a detective who detects the voice of God in the various tribes and cultures, that have existed on earth for ages, within their very own historic beliefs. Don gives to us the clues he has found that points everyman to God, no matter when or where he was born. Don is not promoting Universalism but rather a God who is big enough and loving enough to show this world that He has not left Himself without a witness, even within their own historic beliefs. I would recommend this book to everyone.
God bless you Don, keep up the great work,
your brother in Christ,
Brother Albert

Are You A Christian? Thinking About Buying This Book? Do It Now!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent work here. As relevant now as it was upon first publication.

A common misconception is that people of tribal nations/areas are totally lost without the Gospel, fumbling around in darkness. Wrong! "He has also set eternity in their heart" (Ecc. 3:11); "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us" (Acts 17:27). The book presents powerful evidence that monotheism is the first stage of religious development among people groups, not polytheism or animism. Monotheism then degenerates into polytheism etc., due to various reasons, e.g., manipulations of people in ruling positions. Therefore this book runs counter to the evolutionary models such study of religion holds as orthodox. As such, this book is startling to anyone who takes it seriously and grew up in Western public educations systems (where we are taught the evolutionary models only).

The book is not a "deep theological treatise." It is rather a thesis predicated on evidence from anthropology, sociology, the study of religion, and Scriptural exegesis. Of course it is richly theological, but it does not get "theologically complex," or dense.

As for a criticism: The book does not explore so much about how it is the Spirit of God moving these people to reach out and find God. People are not prepared for the Gospel on their own doing, but rather through the Spirit. However, this theme is in fact found within the book! As a personal opinion, I simply would have liked to see it emphasized. As I said, the book is not a theological treatise; it does not get lost in complex debate—so it is not surprising that we do not find, for example, a chapter on "The Work of the Spirit."

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

Erasmus

Did all of Humankind originally believe in One God?

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

A paradigm busting premise. It will change the way one religiously sees the world. Could the most ancient religious belief of all cultures, tribes, and tongues have been monotheism, complete with a name for the One True God? If so, then Jesus is a Man for all Seasons, one who points to every culture's most ancient and cherished relationship. I'd heard about the "sky-god" phenomenon in anthropology classes and in anthropological films, but it's usually mentioned in passing. However, the implications are stunning. Turns out that anthropology and archeology's commitment to the idea that man progressed from animism to polytheism to monotheism to atheism may need to be revisited.

Mysterious Works Of God?? Yes, but with documentation

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is astounding to see the background data added to the inspiring histories. I hear many "supposed" tales of God's actions but to have them so clearly and convincingly authenticated is great. This is a work I shall be referring to many times over. Due to "loaning" it out a few times, I actually think this may be the 5th or 6th copy I have now purchased. It is one that MUST be in our library. When my wife discovered we no longer have a copy she said, "Get one!". So of course, I did. His work in Peace Child is equally amazing.

The Promise of the Nations

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love and agree with the premise of this book of a general revelation of the Light of the world through the Order of Melchizedek, and a specific revelation of Christ through the Hebrew lineage. The process of the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham to be a blessing to the nations is a beautifully orchestrated concurrence of the broad revelation--that leaves it footprints in the folklore of many tribes--with the specific revelation of the gospel of Christ delivered to these tribes by the sent ones. The stories that divulge the evidence of this are remarkable. They moreover debunk erroneous theories of the development of religion while demonstrating folklore gives evidence of an initial monotheistic concept. Don Richardson presents his case in a wonderfully engaging style that utilizes colorful documented missionary stories. He then sums up by demonstrating the clear occurrences of the focus to the nations throughout the New Testament. There is good reason this book has a broad and enduring audience.

Spell-binding, thoughtful, empathetic missiology

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book was a game changer for me. Richardson has an admirable and amazing inclusiveness of all peoples and belief systems, not in spite of his faith in God but because of it. His missiology is not based on a modern type of lukewarm relativism that does justice neither to gospel nor to religious experience worldwide, but it is instead based on upholding the truth of the one through the other. I am yet to read Peace Child but have heard the story the title is based on, that the Messianic figure of Jesus can be seen as a peace child to warring sides, and he a willing one. It is these observations and a high view of God's prophetic voice in his Word that draw the serious Christ follower to Richardson's work. After centuries of both roaring, Spirit-led success and catastrophic mistakes, Richardson reintroduces world mission as an exciting and life-bringing project that benefits both the teller and tellee of the good news of Jesus. Richardson is a sensitive yet strict interfaith writer. Highly recommended for a church addicted to chalking lines (be it in their particular Evangelical beliefs or on the world map) and for those espousing a so called 'fundamentalism' that encourages holding a white-knuckle certainty on the virtues of their own way of seeing Christianity and religious belief generally.

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Don Richardson argues that God has revealed himself in many cultures in ways we scarcely dream of, so that missionaries arriving in remote areas discover that the native peoples already have an inexplicable grasp of elements of the Christian gospel He gives fascinating examples in this very well-researched book.. This really is worth reading.

Encouragement for Missionaries !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have given this a five star because I'm a missionary ! The examples quoted here are of tribes and peoples who seem to be waiting for the Gospel to come to them. As if the title is true ... Eternity is in their hearts and they are only waiting for someone to have the courage to go and tell them. The examples are extremely moving ... If you're interested in missions as a missionary or as a supporter or as an intercessor ; you NEED to read this book !

What an amazing God!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

An amazing book , very readable and wonderfully informative. Don Richardson, a Christian anthropologist takes us on a fantastic voyage through time and cultures to show how God has prepared the hearts of so many people groups to accept and acknowledge the one true God. The story of the mass conversion of the Karen, The Kachin , Lahu peoples in Burma - people whose hearts had been prepared by God through belief that a white brother would bring them a book which would reveal His Truth, is particularly moving; especially in the light of the persecution and hardshps they have suffered and continue to suffer at the hands of the illegal Burmese military junta; in part because of their faith.
This is a book to re-affirm faith in a God who opens his arms to all peoples.
