Fascinating book about a Christian missionary who goes to Brazil. While his initial mission is as a missionary, he is also a linguist. I was reading this book to prepare for a qualitative research course I am teaching next semester. I think this will be a great read for the class. It's also so interesting that I have been reading parts of it to my boys who are aged 9, 9, & 11. (Note that I said I am reading selected parts - not all of this is appropriate for children. But the adventure and the learning of a different culture is very intriguing - they like it!)
