Product Description

This is the story of a young girl named Kondima in the mountains of Borneo. While playing with the village children in the jungle, she meets with misfortune. Her accident requires a trip to Singapore where doctors are able to restore her to good health.

During this whole adventure, she learns about Jesus as her personal friend, and she wants to show others. As a result, she ends up converting a large part of her village.

About the Author

Norma Rhoads Youngberg was born in iowa and grew up in South Dakota. She comes from a family of teachers, missionaries, and writers. Her father, the late Bert Rhoads, taught school for fifty years and has written several books for children; her sister, Mildred R Bennett, is a recognized authority on Willa Cather.

In 1916 Norma Rhoads married Gustavus B Youngberg, a Protestant missionary, and she and their first child went with him to Malaya in 1919. The next years were spent in Singapore, British North Borneo, Sarawak, and Indonesia. They pioneered work among headhunters on the Tatau River of Sarawak. During twenty years of service they became parents of five other children, all of whom are now engaged in some form of Christian endeavor, either as doctors, nurses, or teachers. In 1940 the family returned to the United States.

Author of Fire on the Mountain, Flee Middle Gardens, Singer on the Sand, Queen's Gold, Creative Techniques for Christian Writers, Nyla and the White Crocodile, and The Spirit of Prophecy Emphasis Stories.
