The Bible of the Poisonous Tree

Fanatical missionary Nathan Price, along with his wife and daughters, leaves the prosperous, civilized America and goes to the Black Continent, into the jungles of Belgian Congo, with a firm faith in God and the hope that the Lord will... help him convert the local inhabitants to Christianity. He preaches fiercely and passionately, but the locals do not thirst to receive the gracious gifts. They tenderly guard their sanctities, honor the traditions of their ancestors, and continue to perform their wild, sometimes inhumane, rituals. But even within Nathan Price's own family, a rebellion is brewing: his household members are not ready for the hardships of life in a remote African village. Everything seems alien and frightening to them—ominous dark jungles where death lurks at every turn; people who greet them with sullen silence; and even Nathan Price himself with his fanatical, unyielding faith…
