Steve Saint was five years old when his father, missionary pilot Nate Saint, was speared to death by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe. In adulthood, Steve, having left Ecuador for a successful business career in the United States, never imagined making the jungle his home again. But when that same tribe asks him to help them, Steve, his wife, and their teenage children move back to the jungle. There, Steve learns long-buried secrets about his father's murder, confronts difficult choices, and finds himself caught between two worlds. End of the Spear brilliantly chronicles the continuing story that first captured the world's attention in the bestselling book, Through Gates of Splendor.

This was a good book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked learning about different cultures. ( )

Haven't read the book (yet!), but recommend the video (in the College Church Library).

Hard to find an opening adjective to describe this book. I had been following the story of the missionaires that were speared to death and was aware that something wonderful had come of this tragedy. Steve Sant's book has helped me to get a glimpse of God's working in our world. Truly "His ways are not our ways" Don't miss the DVD. ( )

I preferred the movie. This book is difficult to follow at times; the author jumps around a bit, past/present/future. If you can get past this and stick with it, it's an inspirational story and communicates God's amazing sovereignty. ( )
