book recommendation for "I Heard the Owl Call my Name" by Margaret Craven

I was given this book for Christmas by my mother-in-law, Jennie
Lockie. (Yes, we have the same name, but she spells it with ie. The
really weird thing is that Tim's sister married a Dave, and my father-
in-law's name is Dave!) Anyway, this was a really interesting book.
(Thanks Jennie!) Especially as Tim and I are wondering about joining
InnerCHANGE, it was good to read a book that's basically the opposite
of The Poisonwood Bible. This books is an example of incarnational
ministry done well. It's also pretty short and a very easy read.
It's about a young vicar who's sent to live in a remote indian village
where life is difficult and death is common. The villagers are
suspicious of him at first, but he doesn't ask for special treatment
and really gives himself to the people of the village. As it turns
out, his Bishop sent him there not because the village needed him, but
because he needed the village, and at the end, he becomes acutely
aware of this. Here are a couple of quotes from it.

When the atheist teacher meets the vicar who has recently arrived in
the remote Indian village, he tells him that anyone who professes
Christianity must be incredibly naive. "The young vicar grinned and
agreed. There were two kinds of naivete, he said, quoting Schweitzer;
one not even aware of the problems, and another which has knocked on
all the doors of knowledge and knows man can explain little, and is
still willing to follow his convictions into the unknown. 'This takes
courage,' he said, and he thanked the teacher and returned to the
vicarage."

When they are watching the salmon die at the end of their upstream
struggle, an indian girl comments that the end of the swimmer is
sad. And the vicar replies, "But Keetah, it isn't. The whole life
of the swimmer is one of courage and adventure. All of it builds to
the climax and the end. When the swimmer dies he has spent himself
completely for the end for which he was made, and this is not
sadness. It is triumph."
