Book excerpt: The Christian Faith in the American Indian World; A History is the gripping story of God's passionate pursuit of a people for Himself from among the 600 + tribes (most with a distinct language and culture) of the U.S.A. and Canada across 500 years of history. The pursuit continues today! The historical episodes that are related present clear pictures of God's love for the American Indians through the dedication and sacrifice of God's chosen servants who faithfully took the message of eternal life to them despite unimaginable hardship. Stories of great challenges faced by the Indians in response to the message are also included. This is a collection of stories that confirm the ongoing working of God's Spirit among American Indians throughout the history of the United States despite the forces that are opposed to the truth.
