God in the Rainforest Henry Loewen

GOD IN THE RAINFOREST is a fascinating insight into the real life experiences of the Henry Loewen family who gave up the comfort and security of rural Canada in order to pursue mission work among the indigenous people of Brazil. This very personal account sets out, in fascinating detail, the tremendous challenges that such a move involves. Language barriers, hostile government officials, the opposition of other religious leaders, and even death, seemed to raise in surmountable odds against their efforts. And yet, these were difficulties that the Loewens either worked hard to deal with and overcome or, where changes was ultimately not possible, quietly and prayerfully accepted the results. This book is much more than just a personal diary of the challenges and difficulties that the Loewen family faced in the isolation of river life in the jungles in Brasil. It is a testament to the remarkable accomplishments that the people from very ordinary backgrounds can achieve when they place their faith and their lives in the hands of God. - Vic Toews, Member of Parliament for Provencher.
