At the Foot of the Snows by David E. Watters

(read aloud on Kindle)

A wonderful, exciting missionary book. Follow a courageous missionary couple into Nepal to live with a very remote people group and learn their language. After many difficult years, the Bible is translated. When the people hear the gospel in their own language, the church is born among them. There are many difficulties, persecutions and trials but the story is one of joy and hope and faithfulness. Watters died before the book was finished. The last few chapters have a far different tone and style and were disappointing. Watters's writing is clear, interesting and delightful. It is graceful but not an apology. He was courageous but shares his times of doubt, making this book ring strong and true. Despite the last couple of chapters it is well worth reading.
