What a story! I never knew much about the Indian civilizations in the southern parts of North America and in Mexico. At the end, the main character rejects the white man’s religion (Christianity) and goes back to his roots because he realises the Spanish are greedy and dangerous . On the one hand, as a Christian, I see it as something that transcends culture, but at the same time I find this book a good warning on how someone can learn all about Christianity, but if you don’t actually teach them well and live out what you preach, it isn’t going to have an effect.
