From the author: Sixty elementary schools in Minneapolis were asked to participate in a study to evaluate the most effective education method to increase booster seat knowledge and use in kindergarten-age children. School personnel selected one of the following interventions: 1) written information, 2) parent education class and a free booster seat, or 3) student education and a free booster seat. Twenty schools participated, with 132 parents completing the telephone interview 3 to 6 months post-survey. Providing instructions to parent groups and teaching children in the classroom, along with providing an incentive booster seat, was shown to increase booster seat use. Providing information only was found to be ineffective. Pediatric and school nurses should focus their injury prevention efforts beyond written materials. Results indicate that presentations for children and their parents, along with incentives, can result in changes in behavior.

Product Description
Engulfed in the darkness of Irian Jaya's Snow Mountains live the Yali, naked cannibals who call themselves lords of the earth. Yet, in spite of their boldness, they live in terror and bondage to the women-hating, child-despising gods they serve. Missionary Stan Dale dared to enter their domain and be an instrument to change their future. Peace Child author, Don Richardson, tells the story of Dale, his wife, his companions and thousands of Yali tribesmen in Lords of the Earth. This unforgettable tale of faithful determination and zeal against overwhelming odds brings unlikely characters together in a swirl of agony and bloodshed climaxing in a dramatic, unexpected ending. Readers will find their perceptions of how God moves enlarged and inspired by this classic story. For parents and youth leaders looking for real-life role models for the new generation of young people, you will want to meet the Dales in Lords of the Earth. ... Read more

Cause for Worship and Praise!

A riveting page turner full of surprise after surprise, that evokes emotions that swell to the very core of humanity and Christianity.

The amazing story of Stan and Pat Dale among the Yali people, the battle on the front line over the lives and souls of men and women and children all made in the image of God, but having lost view of what the image means.

In the end, like Don's other books: Eternity in their Hearts and Peace Child; this book brings about a humble recognition that God is God and there is no other, second only to the recognition and appreciation for people like Stan and Don and their families that risk life, health and comfort for their love and desire to spread the good news of the gospel of peace!

Product Description
In Irian Jaya's remote Snow Mountains lived the Yali--cannibals who called themselves "lords of the earth." Yet in terror and bondage they served women-hating, child-despising gods. Bowing to the kembu spirits, Yali men rendered fearful obedience, even executing children.

When missionary Stan Dale dared to enter the domain of this stone-age people, he embarked on a course that would swiftly bring him, his wife, and his companions into a bloody life-or-death struggle with the Yali's complex religion. He did not know what chilling hazards awaited him, nor at what cost the Yali would at last know the love of their Redeemer. ... Read more

Good or bad?
The effect of Christian missionaries on indigenous cultures is a very controversial subject, and I'm not really sure where I stand.I was hoping this book would help me make a decision, but I think now I'm even more uncertain.Throughout the story I could not decide if what Stan and his team were doing was a good thing or a bad thing.Near the beginning I perceived him rather negatively, but as the story went along, I began to feel greater sympathy for him and his cause and near the end felt like, though they may have had some negative effects, the ultimate effect was good, especially the apparent liberation from an "oppressive, deadly religion".

And then I read the epilogue.I really wonder why Richardson put this here in the manner presented.It pretty much tells just another tale of a way of life destroyed forever and forced into the modern world that it isn't made to be a part of, causing supreme detriment.This basically destroys every prior notion I held of Stan and his team having a positive effect despite the damage done in the story.However, Richardson does all this in two pages and doesn't make the connection to Stan, basically telling the reader that Stan's effect was good so that these people can face the modern world with the goodness of Christianity, etc.But I wonder, did Richardson neglect the details of someone else interfering, or is it Stan and his team who cause this destruction?

If you believe the tribes have gained eternal life, then I suppose the issue is settled.But if you're not so sure and/or you think any damage done could be justified by the "hope of eternal life", then it's not so clear.And I know Richardson's position of: someone's going into these tribes, isn't it best that good people go in first?That's a respectable position, I suppose, but there is enough controversy that I can't decide where to stand on the issue.

As a side note on the book, one thing I wonder is how exactly Richardson reads peoples minds like only God or a novel writer could do.This also really brings into question for me just how legitimate this account is, or whether he tried his best to convey what he thought they would be thinking, or if he was inspired by the holy spirit to write something otherwise unknowable to his mind, or if maybe some of this is "his interpretation" made to make the story read more like an interesting novel.

Whatever the case, Lords of the Earth is an interesting story and a worth-while read, but is the effect of the missionaries detailed good or bad?Some of both for sure, but ultimately (and regardless of this accounts reliability), who knows?

Fantastic Missionary Story
I bought this book for my mom.She's a big fan of missionary stories and she loved this one!I recently bought her Peace Child by the same author.She enjoyed it as well.

Great true story of God's hand at work
This book is incredible. Sad and at the same time so incredibly uplifting. It shows how God's plans are so much bigger than ours, and His hand works in ways we cannot comprehend.

Wow!An incredible true story
Lords of the Earth (International Adventures) (International Adventures)

My boss recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad he did.It was not an easy read as many of the things in it are difficult to hear.It is an incredible story though, and worth reading.

Light into darkness
"Lords of the Earth" is the term the Yali warriors use to describe themselves.They live in the Heluk valley in Irian Jaya, and the only knowledge of them to reach the outside world are the dark rumors of the cannibals beyond the mountains.The first section of the book is about them, their customs, and the awful fear and darkness they lived in.Don Richardson does a great job portraying a people bound by chains of sin, and longing for release.The horror of their pain is graphic, and not suitable to be read to younger children.

The second part of the book describes the early life of Stan Dale, his conversion, and his burden for those in darkness.He is drawn as a determined man, physically strong and fit, with firm convictions.

The book goes on to tell of Stan's coming to the Yali people.How a strange story begins over his identity, protecting his life.How the first few Yali Christians were killed, and later Stan and a fellow missionary were brutally murdered.How another missionary family died in a plane crash, except for the nine-year-old son, whose friendship with the Yali paves the way for them to turn to Christ.

The book reminded me Christ's words in John 12:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."On earth, Stan Dale never saw the fruit his life and death brought forth, but he will rejoice in heaven with the Yali that are there through his witness.

5,000 Open Salts
Very good "reference" book for any collector or antique dealer to have for valid identification of collectible open salts.Because it includes all types of open salts, i.e.porcelain (china), glass, silver, etc., it is invaluable for not only the beginning collector, but for the advanced collector wishing to positively identify their collection.It gives just enough "history" and information about this interesting little collectible to make the book interesting, but happily, the focus is on identifying individual salts for the collector.The photos are such a nice plus (as some guides have only line drawings). One needs to purchase another "guide" that gives values and rarity, but as an identifying source, "5000 Open Salts" is wonderful.

A salt collector's dream bible
