Title	Light in the Jungle: The Life Story of Ola Hanson of Burma
Author	Sword, Gustaf A.

Summary	No one is better qualified than Dr. Sword to write the life story of Dr. Ola Hanson, the man who spent nearly forty years of his life in Burma, who reduced the Kachin language to writing, translated the whole Bible into Kachin, compiled a Kachin-English Dictionary of 11,000 words, developed a Kachin Grammar, edited a Kachin Hymnal of 364 hymns, wrote several books in English, Kachin and Swedish, and was honored by universities and governments for his distinguished accomplishments. When referring to Dr. Hanson's coming to Burma, the Christian Kachins often say: "Nhtoi Du Sai" - The Light Came. How this Light came into the jungle and dispersed the darkness of fear, superstition, ignorance and sin is vividly told by Dr. Sword with an intimate knowledge of an eyewitness and with a deep feeling of understanding love for his senior partner on the mission field. Comparatively little is known of the Kachin tribe along the Burma Road. Prior to Dr. Hanson's entering that field the contacts by missionaries had been brief and incidental. This story, which also comprises the history and the customs of the Kachins, is therefore a valuable contribution to the total knowledge of missionary work. [from front flap]
