Good Reading December 1, 2008
This is an interesting missionary biography. Everyone I know that has read it (people of all ages), has enjoyed it.
A timely read November 25, 2008
Amazon.com sent me an ad for the book Bruchko two days before one of my best friends flew to the high jungle of Columbia to be a missionary with the Motilone people. She had never seen the book and can use her computor once a day by generator electricity so I typed it out for her a chapter at a time. Within a week she hiked the Andes Mountain where Bruce Olson resides with the Motilone, had a wonderful visit with him and received from him personally her own copy. She hiked the mountain barefoot just like the Motilone people do. Bruce Olson was 19 when he went, my friend, a devoted Christian, is 67. This book would be very interesting to anyone who likes to hear about modern day missionaries and the work they do. I loved it.
 Not a good story for a South American Indian November 6, 2008

This is not a good book. This Bruchko character ruined the Motilones Indians lives in Colombia to build up his own ego under the guise of helping spread Christianity. Maybe he thought he was doing a good thing, but really all he did was try and assimilate a people in a culture they wanted nothing to do with. He should have left them alone. My Grandmother, a Motilon Indian, and I do not recommend this book except to show how European explorers, and missionaries have helped to ruin countless cultures by trying to "help" them to not be "savages".

One of my all-time favorites. This is the second copy purchased. Never got the other returned.
