The charismatic Brother XII, who was real, dominates his religious commune in the mysterious Gulf Islands of British Columbia in the early 1930s. When Mary and Philip White sell their expensive home in England, give the money to the Brother, and join the commune, they seem to be entering nirvana. But things soon start to go wrong. The story features Canada's mystic leader and his Aquarian cult. It follows the extraordinary influence the Brother has on two generations of two families in Canada, Britain, Africa and the Caribbean. The second generation family members pursue careers in medicine and dancing in London where they find clues to their true identities. Eventually they discover the strange rituals that took place in the commune and learn of the Aquarian gold still hidden on the islands.

A hands-on approach to training your leaders and members to do Ministry work 'outside the church'. I've said many times, "The last thing mature Christians need is another Bible study class if they haven't used what they've been learning for years." The primary purpose of this book is to help church leaders teach members how to go beyond church and Bible study by holding 'Ministry Classes' as well as and in addition to their Bible class.
