Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible & Treaty: Missionaries among the Māori is a complex and colourful adventure of faith, bravery, perseverance and betrayal that seeks to recover lost connections in the story of modern New Zealand. It brings a fresh perspective to the missionary story, from the lead-up to Samuel Marsden's first sermon on New Zealand soil, and the intervening struggle for survival and understanding, to the dramatic events that unfolded around the Treaty of Waitangi and the disillusionment that led to the Land Wars in the 1860s. While some missionaries clearly failed to live up to their high calling, the majority committed their lives to Māori and were instrumental in spreading Christianity, brokering peace between warring tribes, and promoting literacy – resulting in a Māori-language edition of the Bible. This highly readable account, from the author of Ratana Revisited: An Unfinished Legacy (2006) and Ratana: The Prophet (2009), shines a new light on the ever-evolving business of New Zealand's early history.

This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on examples from British world expressions of Christianity, this collection further greater understanding of religion as a critical element of modern children’s and young people’s history. It builds on emerging scholarship that challenges the view that religion had a solely negative impact on nineteenth- and twentieth-century children, or that ‘secularization’ is the only lens to apply to childhood and religion. Putting forth the argument that religion was an abiding influence among British world children throughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth centuries, this volume places ‘religion’ at the center of analysis and discussion. At the same time, it positions the religious factor within a broader social and cultural framework. The essays focus on the historical contexts in which religion was formative for children in various ‘British’ settings denoted as ‘Anglo’ or ‘colonial’ during the nineteenth and early- to mid-twentieth centuries. These contexts include mission fields, churches, families, Sunday schools, camps, schools and youth movements. Together they are treated as ‘sites’ in which religion contributed to identity formation, albeit in different ways relating to such factors as gender, race, disability and denomination. The contributors develop this subject for childhoods that were experienced largely, but not exclusively, outside the ‘metropole’, in a diversity of geographical settings. By extending the geographic range, even within the British world, it provides a more rounded perspective on children’s global engagement with religion.

Download or read book Life Changing written by Alasdair Thompson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Life Changing, Alasdair Thompson outlines the events surrounding his sacking as chief executive of the Employers and Manufacturers Association, New Zealand's largest business membership organisation, after twelve years of reorganisation and rebuilding the Association. He reveals his upbringing, the people and events that shaped him, his views on business, economics and public policy, and outlines a career in local government and in various local authorities and boards. We see the man behind the media target, and he shares his beliefs and values, his crises, as well as personal transformation and newfound faith and peace. Thompson's was at the centre of a media maelstrom that led to his downfall. This book describes how he and his family coped with the aftermath and ultimately moved on, happier and stronger. Life Changing learning from the past fixing the future By Alasdair Thompson Life Changing is what I have called my book due out early October. It is partly autobiographical and partly a commentary on a wide range of political, business, and media issues including the ethics of some leaders in those fields. It's also about my transformation from having been publicly disgraced and humiliated to a happy new and much better person with a wonderful new life. Much of what I have written written will be controversial, although I did not write it to be so. I had some important things to say about business, political even media ethics including those of some important leaders in those field.; The media too rightly comments on such things like the collapse of finance companies and the many billions of dollars that many retirees have consequently suffered, and the increase in the suicide rate among baby boomers. The media is constantly covering such things but there are some things they do not hear the whole story about. It's a few of these I felt compelled to write about. I take responsibility for my fall from public grace; for my bad behaviour towards Mihingarangi Forbes, the interviewer from Campbell Live, ;when I lost my cool with her; this was the; bit that Campbell Live producer, Pip Keane, chose to broadcast on that programme on June 23 2011. Nevertheless I do call Mihingarangi Forbes, John Campbell and Pip Keane for what media commentator, Dr Brian Edwards, at the time called 'dishonest journalism.' The book, in five parts, covers in parts 2 and 3 my downfall as the Employer and Manufacturers (EMA) CEO in June 2011 which led to my sacking for allegedly bringing the EMA into disrepute on 6 July 2011, even though I had offered my resignation almost immediately. It covers how my wife Joan and I coped and ultimately dealt with the maelstrom that followed my comment, first made on Mike Hosking's NewstalkZB breakfast show, that some women's 'monthly; sickness' problems affected their productivity and earnings. This escalated when later that afternoon I ;was interviewed by Mihi Forbes, in a 27 minute interview, the last 4 minutes of which were chosen by producer Pip Keane, as the 'best bits' (most controversial) to be broadcast that evening on Campbell Live. It is mainly parts 2 and 3 of my 5 part book, ;that are the basis of an in depth TV3 3rd Degree programme to be screened on Wednesday 2nd October. The programme also looks at my life now, my transformation, having researched feminism and Christian theology, leading to me becoming a Christian, travelling extensively overseas and to again become a self-employed business advisor and tourist business operator. Life Changing is about much more than all this though, although it does reveal so much more than was ever made public at the time of my demise, mainly because I was barred, at the time, ;from talking to the media and my employer

Download or read book Huia Come Home written by J. Ruka and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the sacred guardian of New Zealand¿s native forests, the huia was a symbol of the land¿s unique beauty and spirituality. The rare bird¿s tragic extinction in the early 1900s represents a shot to the heart of Aotearoa and is a potent metaphor for a country¿s conflicted history. Using the story of the untimely extinction of the huia, Jay Ruka offers a fresh perspective on the narrative of Aotearoa; a tale of two cultures, warring worldviews, and the things we lost in translation. Revisiting the early missionaries, the transformative message of the gospel and the cultural missteps of the Treaty of Waitangi, Huia Come Home invites us to reconnect with the unique story offered by the indigenous Maori lens.
