So I checked out the book, "End of the Spear" yesterday and have read about half of it thus far. It's amazingly good, and not really preachy and Steve Saint seems to have a good head on his shoulders and not only a true Christian perspective here, but a genuine love for these people, some of whom murdered his father. His writing style and stories remind me more than a little of your own stories of backwoods life in South America, which is a real compliment to both of you.

I purchased a bootleg copy of "The Passion of The Christ" before the movie hit the theaters here. And then picked up two originals as opportunity presented itself. BUT I've seen neither originals nor pirated versions for sale around here yet. It's not a widely popular movie here, don't know if it even made it to the theaters. So far, no one I've asked about it has seen it. Haven't checked with Blockbuster yet, they sometimes have lesser known videos on their shelves, but with retail prices that rival those in the US. So there's a "companion documentary"? I"ve yet to see that one. I’ve got my eye out for a copy. I purchased a bootleg copy of “The Passion of The Christ” before the movie hit the theaters here.

We have shared it with a number of people. I have yet to see it fail to touch hearts. I would recommend the campanion documentary, "Through The Gates of Splendor" also.
