Has the God who prepared the gospel for all people groups also
prepared all people groups for the gospel? Don Richardson, author
of the bestselling book Peace Child, has studied cultures
throughout the world and found startling evidence of belief in the
one true God within hundreds of them. In Eternity in Their Hearts,
Richardson gives fascinating, real-life examples of ways people
groups have exhibited terms and concepts in their histories that
have prepared them for the gospel. Read how Pachacuti, the Inca
king who founded Machu Picchu, the majestic fortress in Peru,
accomplished something far more significant than merely building
fortresses, temples, or monuments. He sought, reached out, and
found a God far greater than any popular "god" of his own culture.
And there have been others throughout the world, like him, who
lived to receive the blessing of the gospel. Get ready to be amazed
at these intriguing examples of how God uses redemptive analogies
to bring all men to Himself, bearing out the truth from
Ecclesiastes that God "has also set eternity in the hearts of men"
(3:11).

From Cannibals to Christ-Followers--A True Story In 1962, Don and
Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the
Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child tells their unforgettable
story of living among these headhunters and cannibals, who valued
treachery through fattening victims with friendship before the
slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a
redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The "peace child"
became the secret to unlocking a value system that had existed
through generations. This analogy became a stepping-stone by which
the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual
and a social revolution from within. With an epilogue updating how
the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, this missionary classic
will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this
remarkable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating
Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.
Engulfed in the darkness of Irian Jaya's Snow Mountains live the
Yali, naked cannibals who call themselves lords of the earth. Yet,
in spite of their boldness, they live in terror and bondage to the
women-hating, child-despising gods they serve. Missionary Stan Dale
dared to enter their domain and be an instrument to change their
future. Peace Child author, Don Richardson, tells the story of
Dale, his wife, his companions, and thousands of Yali tribesmen in
Lords of the Earth. This unforgettable tale of faithful
determination and zeal against overwhelming odds brings unlikely
characters together in a swirl of agony and bloodshed climaxing in
a dramatic, unexpected ending. Readers will find their perceptions
of how God moves enlarged and inspired by this classic story. For
parents and youth leaders looking for real-life role models for the
new generation of young people, you will want to meet the Dales in
Lords of the Earth.
Forget all those evening news sound bites or diplomatically correct
half-truths about the Koran and the religion of Islam. If you want
to know what the Koran is really about, you have to know what it
really says. Don Richardson gives you a nitty-gritty inside look at
the Koran, helping to separate fact from fiction. These
hard-hitting observations are not the author's opinion based on
what he thinks the Koran seems to imply. Muslim boys are
indoctrinated in military camps. Madrasa schools force memorization
and repetition of the Koran, particularly those verses that promise
heavenly rewards for martyrdom. It took courage to write this
serious, documented, and well-sourced book. But the price of truth
is courage, regardless of one's religion.
Who Will Be Saved? Who Will Be Lost? The past few years have seen
the release of several high-profile books, including Love Wins (Rob
Bell) and God Wins (Mark Galli), that attempt to clarify what the
Bible teaches about the ultimate destiny of individuals after this
life. Don Richardson believes the arguments posed by these authors
do not account for all the biblical evidence. In Heaven Wins, the
bestselling author of Peace Child and Eternity in Their Hearts
offers a faith-enhancing, scripturally grounded perspective that
changes everything. Are a majority of people destined for hell, as
many Christians assume, or will heaven harvest the greater part of
mankind? Could it be that the Good News is even better and more
expansive than we have dared to hope? The answer may surprise you!
