Customer Rating: Summary: A fine, rare history that can't be found elsewhere Comment: The book gives information about the early impetus for translating God's Word into languages that previously had nothing written in them at all. The lives and very human events unfold in this book that show how gradually a vision was born that eventually led to over a thousand translations of the Bible that are underway today. These were ordinary men and women in one sense, but in another they were outstanding pioneers who were zealous to do what God wanted them to and to be used by Him to reach people who otherwise had no chance to hear of God in the language they could understand and which spoke to them intimately. The author does an excellent job of research and well documented reporting.
