Trails Through the Jungle: Life Stories from South Sumatra Hildegard Berg

What would you do if someone gave you a leopard cat kitten that was far too small to survive on its own? How would you convince an Indonesian bus driver to take one more passenger, when the bus is already full? Why did the house of the missionary become an asylum for the older women by night? Why would a German computer scientist translate the New Testament into the language of an Indonesian people group? Discover the answers to these questions and many more, as the author Hildegard Berg shares her exciting stories. The reader is transported to a small village in Southern Sumatra to join Hildegard in her daily life as Bibletranslator to the Serawai, a small people group in South Sumatra, where God intervened in the most surprising and unconventional ways. "I enjoyed the stories immensely and it awakened within me the desire to visit Sumatra myself. The last chapter reduced me to tears - it was very moving."(Jenny Carter, England)
