5.0 out of 5 starsGod's Missionary!!
By Shannon Demeulemeester on Aug. 25 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an EXCELLENT book. Bruce Olsen followed God, not man. This is a perfect example how God wants His WORD taken to the indiginous people of the world. Not by taking their culture and life style away from them and westernizing them, but by meeting them on their terms. I LOVE this book. God is Awesome!!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book!
By Keri-Lee Derksen on Oct. 30 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is an amazing display of how God can reach other people using stories in their own culture to reveal himself to them. Bruce Olson is an example of God's love to a people who where voilent and hateful towards him. This books is a testimony to the power of what God can do when we submit our ways to him.

5.0 out of 5 starsA+ and a great read!
By wcjbic on Aug. 21 2014
Format: Paperback
This fascinating autobiography is about a 19 year old young man who felt a calling urge by God to go witness and preach the truth to primitive tribes in South America that were previously thought unreachable. Throughout this engaging and edge-of-your-seat novel, we see so many examples of God’s hand at work. Once you start reading this book, you will not want to put it down. Sequences of events are laid out in an easy to understand and grasp matter, and the book does not have a lengthy introduction. It is straight to the point and very precise as every detail counts right from the beginning. We see in this book that God can use absolutely anyone to do such an impacting mission. Olson did not grow up in a home that portrayed God as loving, rather the harsh God that the Lutherans believed him. He wasn’t super fit either, and struggled with playing sports as a child. Ironically, he had an encounter with Christ at a church that did not recognize it. From that point, he got the courage to travel down to rural South America, in spite of the fact that the tribes there were known as merciless and violent.

Not only does this book have a gripping storyline, it shows readers the friendships that evolve between the most unlikely people. Everyone has a sense of compassion and friendship inside them, and you just have to dig deeper until you find it, because it’s there. Some of the friendships that evolved over the course of the book with Olson and some of the natives such as Bobby are timeless and miraculous. He used these friendships to lead the whole tribe to accept Jesus. Apart from being a book full of dangerous twists and turns and life/death situations, it has many situations where you can purely see the hand of God at work.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsTaking Missions to Heart
By Bill Reese on April 15 2002
Format: Paperback
Bruchko is a fascinating story of a young man's struggles, Bruce Olsen, to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to civilizations that were previously unreachable within the South American continent. To me, a missionary, this book brings life to all the things that must be considered on and off the mission field. As an avid reader, the story of one man's determination to spread the gospel, as well as the trials and tribulations he faced, kept me riveted. I have heard and read stories like this most of my life, but could not believe some of the hard facts and daily adversity that Bruce Olsen had to face.
I appreciated the day-by-day encounters of Bruchko, as he was called, with the tribal people of South America. The literary work by Bruce Olsen opened my eyes to the things of this world that one person can and does face daily when focused on getting the Palabra de Dios, Word of God, to other civilizations. The story tells of a man who was turned away by mission organizations because of his young age and inexperience. I recommend this book for anyone seeking a great story as well as those people considering going to the mission field for active work.
Despite the book ending on the last page, I know the story of his mission did not end there and look forward to hearing more about it in the future. Even after reading it twice, I look forward to the next time I pick up the book to peruse the pages. I cannot help but think about what the world would be like if more people would follow the leading of God and use Bruchko's zeal and desire as an example to bring the gospel to the world.

5.0 out of 5 starsIncredible what one man can do in the Will of God
By Clare Chu on May 30 2003
Format: Paperback
Bruce Olson was a 19 year old when he followed God's will for him to bring the Gospel to South American natives. Not knowing a word of Spanish, or any Indian languages, not having a missionary board, or any other missionaries to welcome him, not having a friend in all of South America (except for Jesus Christ), he walked off an airplane in Venuzuela, and eventually found himself injured and left to die inside a hut of the Motilone tribe, a group of natives so fierce that even the neighboring tribes refused to approach their territory and guided Bruce only so far, disappearing at the first sign of a Motilone.
How Bruce survives, and reaches these people and how Jesus transforms them is an exciting and enthralling true story that is miraculous, humbling, and glorious. You won't be able to put this book down until you reach the end, and you'll wish for a sequel, as Bruce is alive and well today and still touching folks with the Gospel and transforming power of Jesus Christ.
