Summary
:
"Bruchko and the Motilone Miracle", the powerful sequel to Bruce Olson's best-selling missionary classic, "Bruchko", is a remarkable tale of adventure, tragedy, faith, and love. It shows how, despite incredible dangers and obstacles, one humble man and a tribe of primitive, violent Indians-by joining together in simple obedience-have been transformed forever by the sovereign will of God. This book, which details Olsonś missionary work and events from the 1970s to the present, will stir and encourage the hearts of readers to serve and follow God passionately. The gripping story of Olson's unorthodox life in the Amazon jungle challenges every stereotype we may have of missionaries. As a passionate and driven 19-year-old, he left a comfortable, bookworm existence in Minnesota and followed his God-given dream to travel to South America, where he was violently captured by a reclusive, murderous tribe of stone age Indians. And he has lived with them ever since!
