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.

From the Back Cover:

In Papua’s remote Snow Mountains lived the Yali, a tribe of cannibalistic warriors who called themselves “lords of the earth.” In their remote mountain-walled valleys, no one dared challenge their authority, yet they lived in perpetual terror and bondage to the kembu spirits they served. When Stanley Dale and Bruno de Leeuw, two remarkably different men with a single heart for the Yali people, dared enter this rugged and unforgiving land, they little knew what chilling hazards awaited them. As they and their companions engaged in a bloody life-or-death struggle to bring the light of the gospel to this people filled with aggression and fear, they learned at what cost the Yali would at last know the love of their Redeemer.
