This volume is a piece of history. It is a document of courage, exploration and first contact. Beyond this, it is a chronicle of the spiritual history of a people. James Chalmers was an early pioneer missionary with a call to reach the far-flung tribes of New Guinea. This simple mission became heroically monumental considering that the country was wild and unknown; the land and its inhabitants were uncharted; and the people themselves were headhunters! "'Wherever there are men, missionaries are bound to go.'" Thus begins the exciting story of one of the great missions efforts in a land and to tribal peoples who are even now considered largely unreached. Discover for yourself the power of the gospel to change people, mold nations and bring us into our destiny! The DNA of these early missionaries is an important piece for us to grasp as we step forward into the end of the ages!
