Individual stories, written in an unadorned style, are woven like a village basket, deft and earthy and insightful. \u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e says: \"The authors' prose is direct and succinct, and they express with impressive sensitivity and sympathy the experiences and worldviews of those they interview.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are only a few places on this planet where the belief systems of the ancient world remain.

They are first-generation believers. Their theology is uncomplicated, their faith is innocent, and their lives are pure. We rarely hear their stories told in their voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps these primitive believers, many of them illiterate, can sense something that we cannot. Perhaps they hear a message that we cannot hear in our sterile, synthetic, self-absorbed world. Perhaps they can teach us something about faith and love and living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 7 x 4.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42619666563168,"sku":"9780989969291","price":23.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/N1l3NFB6L0pPODROZ0o3dWZaWkR1UT09.webp?v=1772427333","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/first-generation-stories-of-rebels-and-pioneers-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
