Product description
A family's humorous effort to contribute to a primitive life with tribal people in the Philippines.
Martin Haworth gave up a thriving business and, with his family, travelled to the Philippines, hoping to minister to the people there. In time, it became apparent that they were called to work with the indigenous people of the Buhid Mangyan tribes, and so began a difficult yet greatly rewarding missionary adventure.
Gently amusing, and often emotive, this is an intriguing, informative and highly detailed look at the lifestyle of a remote people: their land, their lives, their hunger for God, and the daily challenges faced by the missionary.
Praise for Martin Haworth's Smoking the Mango Trees:
'A genuinely thoughtful book, documenting the universal struggle of a people to actualise the gospel, and make the difficult and sometimes mysterious pilgrimage from darkness to light.
Don Cormack
