Book excerpt: The Bamboo Cross is the explosive story of a people who have been projected into the world's headlines by Communist terrorists. When Red guerillas swept down from the mountains, many of the tribespeople of Viet Nam turned desperately for help to the teachings of the American missionaries who had recently come among them. Miraculously, out of the chaos arose two tribesmen, Sau and his brother Kar, who had been converted to Christianity in their youth. Many of the tribes were still completely pagan, enslaved by sorcerers and offering blood sacrifices to their gods. Sau and Kar traveled untiringly from village to village, rousing the people against the Communists and proclaiming the Good News of the one true Spirit of the Skies. The Communist guerillas first tried persuasion, then threats, then outright persecution, but nothing could shake the new-found devotion to the bamboo Cross of Christ. The people abandoned their worldly goods, fled homeless into the night, at times heroically accepted martyrdom rather than renounce Christianity. - Back cover.
