This book is a book of travel. And recipes. And cooking. But most of all, this book is a book of love. Our own family started out as relatively normal people living in a rather normal American town. Then God got hold of us and sent us to the world. As a family! On the way it became apparent that certain things were important: home in the midst of the new, familiarity in the midst of chaos, togetherness in the midst of too much work and a babble of strangers -- this all boiled down to the need for love! ""When you travel, live and work in so many places -- among so many languages and foods and manners of doing things -- you are changed. You don't stay quite the person you were when you left your humdrum life back home... "" So this book is sent out to all those who dream of travel and adventure. Also to those who need to maintain a bit of home in the middle of the new. A book of food, of fun, of family -- a book of love.

Harriette MacDougal was an early missionary to Borneo. Arriving with her husband and children along with a handful of other missionaries, the men soon traveled into the interior of the island to plot out the land. They never returned. So begins the story of a band of intrepid women who built a mission station and later a church and school, all while raising their children in a wild outpost of headhunters. They lived their lives as a sacrifice among the people who took their husbands. It didn't matter -- they came to bring the gospel to a people who had not yet heard it! This volume contains this wonderful, shocking and inspiring story, and also a brief anthropological sketch from a few decades later. Together they give a surprisingly thorough view of a people as yet barely touched by western civilization. As such, this volume is a valuable record of the life, culture and folklore of the Dyak people of Sarawak Borneo.

This book is a piece of history. What's more, it holds the power that the earliest missionaries walked in. It is a document of the salvation of a people. The Moravians were some of the first missionaries of modern times to heed the call and GO! Saved under the leadership of visionary Count Zinzendorf in Germany, the Moravians kindled a revival that lasted for over a hunderd years. During that time, men and women heard the call to bring the gospel into unknown lands before any other group would dare to go. This book is a foundational work describing the first efforts to bring the gospel to the inuit people of the far North. As such it is an important document. It is a window into culture, describing the Inuit people of Laborador as they were before European influence. But perhaps most importantly, it is a view into the spiritual birth of the people. It carries the initial spiritual keys to a people in history, and shows a people group first standing up to grasp their spiritual destiny.

This work represents the rediscovery of an ancient pattern that God has given to his people in order to build His Kingdom on earth. This pattern can be found throughout the Bible. The scripture shows that the Hebrew writers of Old and New Testaments thought, wrote, and lived according to this pattern. We can see that they considered this pattern as foundational to planting, building and living out God's Kingdom here on Earth. As we recognize the pattern of the Kingdom and begin to understand its elements, we can begin to use it to structure every effort pertaining to the Kingdom of God. Indeed, the scripture urges us: "Build everything according to the Pattern that I (God) have shown you." Once recognized as God's intended pattern of the Kingdom, this pattern is applicable and necessary to every part of Godly worship, service and life today. In fact, as we implement our ministry, work and life according to God's plan, we begin to see that God's plan is the only way to build His Kingdom in the Earth.

This book is reprinted from the historic original. It is a first-hand source describing a Fijian people and culture which does not presently exist. As such, it is an invaluable resource for understanding the way things used to be, before Western intervention. A great portion of the worth of this work is in its presentation of native folklore and beliefs. Preservation of folklore means preservation of the mind of a people, preservation of their deepest beliefs, their understanding of the world, the knowledge that held them together as a people and equipped them to survive. This book is a sociological study of the Fijian people from before they had lost all that they had once been.

"Is our faith a unilateral contract to acquire a free ticket to heaven, or is it a two-way blood covenant between us and our savior...a commitment unto death?" So begins the first essay in this book, a collection of essays by Gavin Finley, MD. These writings are prophetic. They do not follow conventional wisdom, nor do they stand with the status quo. What the writing of Gavin Finley will do is shake up our staid notions -- bringing old paradigms into question and new thoughts into view. Reminiscent of the best of C.S. Lewis, Francis Shaeffer, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the writing of Gavin Finley is not for the faint of heart. At turns acerbic and brilliant, this writing is for those whose heart yearns for the deeper quest in God, and a deeper understanding of who we are, and where we are going in the coming seasons. These essays outline a glorious Bride, awaiting the return of her Beloved by actively walking out His end-time plan!

Human beings are complex organisms and as such no one-size-fits-all educational approach will ever be truly effective for the majority of students. Many educational theorists have identified this cookie-cutter approach as the "factory model" of education. Business and manufacturing have developed more effective and flexible methods, but our schools have remained essentially static for over one hundred years. This factory model is the universal standard for what is considered traditional education in America, and is carried out with little regard for the ways humans, or individuals, learn. But we can change all this, with our kids and in our classrooms. Let's do it!
