To learn more about Stan Dale and the Yali tribesmen of Irian Jaya’s Snow Mountains mentioned by Chris in his sermon you may be interested in reading Lord’s of the Earth by Don Richardson. Be warned; the book can be rather gruesome reading…
Engulfed in the darkness of Irian Jaya’s Snow Mountains live the Yali – naked cannibals who call themselves “lords of the earth.” Yet in terror and bondage they serve women-hating, child-despising gods. Lords of the Earth is the story of Dale, his wife, his companions, and thousand of Yali tribesmen – all swept together in a maelstrom of agony and blood that climaxes in a dramatic, unexpected ending. Author Don Richardson is a missionary, filmmaker, teacher, translator, anthropologist, and builder. He and his wife Carol, have worked in evangelizing and preserving the culture of primitive tribes in Irian Jayan since 1962.
