by Frank Drown (Author), Marie Drown (Author)
Suspicion, hatred and killing was what marked the Shuar and Atshuar Indians. The first missionaries in the Ecuadorian Rainforest Frank & Marie were committed to bringing about life changes in these tribes by seeking to communicate forgiveness of sin and new life which could be found in Christ. Frank and Marie Drown prepared the way for Jim Elliott, Nate Saint and their colleagues. Frank was the person who discovered their bodies.

-- Dr Carl McMindes, President, Gospel Missionary Union, Kansas City, Missouri'We don't often discover a book which is at the same time interesting, instructive and inspiring. They tell a very true and glorious story of God working through them and their co-workers to bless and lift a needy people. All of us may profit from reading this missionary epic.'
-- Dr Abraham C VanPerPuy, Former President of HCJB / World Radio, Quito, EcuadorFrank and Marie's story is one of God-given vision and undaunted perseverance. It is an incredible story of how God used this mid-west American couple who had simply responded to his call. As a result, an unreached people has been transformed for His glory.

-- The Gospel Magazine'This book is straightforward and beautifully written. It's a page-turner. I was staggered and rebuked, helped and cheered by the steadfast faithfulness of this humble (I'm sure they would say merely ordinary) couple. Read it!'
