About this title

About the Author:

Michael Dawson is a lifelong missionary to the indigenous Yanomamo tribe in Venezuela. Born in the middle of the Amazon jungle, the fifth child of ten born to missionaries Joe and Midred Dawson, Mike continues to serve God with his wife, Keila, and their daughter.

Review:

I ve known the Dawsons for several years and rejoice in their great faith in God amid severe trials. In spite of the obstacles of primitive conditions, sickness, and death, they have persevered for the souls of the Yanomamö Indians in the rainforest of southern Venezuela. This book is a gripping life story of the triumph of missions with all its mega-challenges. --Dr. George Sweeting, Chancellor Emeritus, Moody Bible Institute

I Can See the Shore depicts a life lived among the Yanomamö with gusto and good humor, while personal sorrows are overcome with grace and transcendence. Mike Dawson not only tells his own remarkable story, but also translates the experiences of Yanomamö shamans, warriors, and childhood friends as they struggle with illness and warfare and confront choices about how to live as Yanomamö in a modern age. --Amy Wray, Filmmaker, National Geographic TV

It s rare that a single book makes you laugh and cry. I laughed at Mike s jungle exploits and cried with him over his daughter s death. Very few people have the opportunity to grow up on both sides of the cultural fence as Mike and I have. Reading this book will highlight the Gospel as a multicultural message. --Steve Saint, itechusa.org
