These My People is a book written by Lillian Dickson that tells the story of her experiences serving as a missionary among the mountain people of Formosa (now known as Taiwan) in the mid-20th century. The book is a collection of personal anecdotes and reflections on her time living and working among the indigenous tribes of the island, including the Atayal, Bunun, and Tsou peoples.Dickson's account is deeply personal and provides a vivid portrait of the challenges and rewards of missionary work. She describes the difficulties of learning the local language and adapting to the customs and traditions of the mountain people, as well as the joys of building relationships with the communities she served.Throughout the book, Dickson emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect for the unique perspectives and experiences of the people she worked with. She also highlights the role of Christian faith in her work, describing how her beliefs shaped her approach to serving others and building relationships with the local communities.Overall, These My People is a powerful and inspiring account of one woman's journey to serve and love the people of Formosa, and a testament to the transformative power of cross-cultural exchange and understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
