30 Day Challenge Day 04 — Your favorite book Day

Ok, well I love to read and of course the best book you could possibly ever read is the Bible. This is the guide to life. A book that could keep you enthraled until the day you die.
However, the book that has effected me the most that I have recently read. It is called 'Through Gates of Splendor'
Its a book about 5 young missionary men who dedicate their lives to taking the message of God to a group of isolated South American Indian's. They are known for their savage way of life. Murdering all who come on to their territory.
These five men sacrificed their live for this task and they did not die in vain. Later on, after their deaths, one of their sisters and the son of another and some others continued with their mission and managed to get through to these Auca's. TO this day now, they are mainly a Christian people. The book is filled with letters and journal entries from the five men. It is filled with their unconditional love for these people that they have never met. I has touched me completely. If there was more people in this world like those men and their wives, it would be a much more amazing place...
