Babes in the Jungle: A Year of Village Life in the Niger Delta

What does it take to get the Bible translated into a new language? What if that language lacks a writing system? Retired UBS Translation Consultant David J. Clark narrates his year of village life in the Niger Delta among the Ekpeye people. Undertaking linguistic research and assisting with decisions on developing a writing system for the Ekpeye language, Clark lived with his family among the people and shared their way of life for one year. Filled with enlightening cultural experiences, humorous accounts of mischievous local children, touching accounts of Christian faith, and even a brush with the law because of his neighbor's gardening habits, Babes in the Jungle is both entertaining and informative from beginning to end. Missionaries, pastors, linguists, and anyone interested in global Christianity will be edified by Clark's memoir.
