Living in the remote jungle village of Crique Sarco, Belize in the 1980s, Ervin and Martha Barkman lived an exciting adventure with God among the beautiful Kekchi people of Southern Belize, Central America. Rendezvous with jaguars, numerous sea and river escapades, and dangerous encounters with snakes were experiences that spiked Ervin’s adrenaline on numerous occasions. But their enduring exhilaration was seeing the transformation of people long steeped in animism, coming to faith and freedom in the One True God! Their story will give you a glimpse into their innovative lifestyle, faith-building experiences, and the amazing Redemptive analogies embedded in the Kekchi culture. In their different styles of writing, the Barkmans relate the story of God as they experienced it, in their 20's; newly married, among the Kekchi, deep in the Belizean jungle. (286pp. color illus.
