Red, the colour of blood, is significant to the Maasis in Kenya. When the New Testament was published for them in 1983 it had a red cover. But traditional Maasi elders fear the red book, because they noticed that when people read from it they tended to act differently. "I don't want to take that risk" one elder said. They warn their people, "when the Christians talk to you, listen. But when they open the red book - run away!"
