Why read it?
1 author picked Lords of the Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Follow the parallel stories of an unforgettable, powerfully real, close-knit tribal culture in the wild mountains of New Guinea, and the deeply dedicated, deeply flawed man who would seek them out with the Gospel of Christ.
