William R. Bliss, a writer who visited Hawaii in the 1870s, wrote
this evocative and vivid account of life on the island; how the
native people lived day-to-day and traded with the Americans with
whom they became close. An excellent account of historic Hawaii,
Paradise in the Pacific offers a detailed and clear portrait of how
life was. Bliss is keen to brief the reader on the history of the
isles; particularly its kings, and how the peoples arrived and
settled in what were then termed the 'Sandwich Islands'. Bliss
demonstrates that all parts of Hawaii's culture, from its festivals
to its courtrooms to its domestic life, are affected by old
beliefs. The author seeks accuracy; the darker side of Hawaiian
life, such as the segregated villages where leprosy is prominent,
receive mention. Volcanic eruptions and destruction which changed
the landscape are discussed. Lightheartedly, we hear about the
islands' politics; disputatious yet lively, with populism and
appeals to traditional values commonplace.

This book grew out of a burden that there was a desperate need for
new believers, and some not so new believers, to be established in
the faith and to have a foundation of spiritual truth that finds
expression in faithful living. My observation, as both a ruling
elder and a pastor, was that many church members were still babes
in Christ, having never grown beyond the elemental things. My
desire was to help new believers progress to a place where they
would be strong in the Kingdom of God and enjoy the blessings of a
life devoted to Christ.
