"No Ordinary Book" is the story of an extraordinary achievement. It tells how the New Testament is translated into the Kouya language of the Ivory Coast, West Africa, by a team of translators from Ivory Coast, England, and Northern Ireland. It takes them twenty years. The tale is told in no ordinary way. We are given the inside story, witnessing events through the eyes of a translator. Philip Saunders writes with honesty and humour. We experience life in a small corner of Ivory Coast, gaining insight into a totally different way of life. We are moved to laughter, tears and spiritual wonder.
