The loss of the father and the son resulted in war and cannibalism in Fiji. Learn of the original worship of the father and the son in Fiji. How the son took away his protection and the land fell into the period of the “Rooster Wars.” With the advent of the Christian missionaries in Fiji, the country entered a period of the “Return of the Father and Son.”

Christian Missionaries then advised cession to Queen Victoria as Defender of the Faith, and arms were laid down on 10 October 1874, to take up the rule of law. The country then entered a period of “taking up arms” from the coup of 1987, the attempted coup of 2000, the coup of 2006, and the Declaration of a new legal order in 2010.

With the Constitution Commission of 2012, Fiji now enters a period of “The Search for Answers” as it tries to go back to constitutional rule. The author was called by the Lord to help the Fijian people. This he did from 1986 to 2012 and for the first time he reveals some of the hard facts behind it.

The purpose of The Unpredictable is to share personal and biographical stories and illustrations from my own experiences as well as others whose lives have been impacted by epilepsy or disorders. 

Through the written word and the stroke of a brush, the old saying, “A picture paints a thousand words” accurately portrays the special people that have been highlighted in the pages of this book. 

At the completion of this book, my thoughts went back to what inspired me to write and paint about seizures and living with epilepsy. It was my desire to make a living as an artist and settle down in a country home with my family, living the life of an artist with a canvas and brush. However I have learned through the years that our plans are often contrary to what God has in store for us. Living with epilepsy has brought challenges and storms in life that have changed the course and direction of my life. 

In this book, the experiences of life with art and epilepsy are put into paintings that I have visualized from this disease. My desire is to educate those unfamiliar with epilepsy, encourage the ones living with this disease, comfort the loved ones who support and assist those living with seizures, and open the eyes of doctors who are educated about seizures but have never experienced the challenges faced in living with a seizure disorder.

Since 1983, Sudan has been the epicenter of a horrific conflict. Battles between northern Sudan’s government forces and the southern Sudanese People’s Liberation Army have left scars and ethnic divisions too numerous for world media to cover. Each day, thousands of refugees escape to neighboring regions. Mass killings, torture, and rape are common practice within and around the borders. Survival of the Fittest is not only the story of Mator Adol-Mawien’s survival but his relentless drive to find freedom from his captors and justice for his people.
Malek Tor, a wise man known for his predictions in my Dinka village, predicted my birth. He said my parents’ fourth born would be a boy, and they were to name him Mator. It means dust storm, wind storm, and tornado in the Dinka language. It would not be long before he was proven correct.
I was the throne-holder for my family, a future king, and I was treated very well. All who entered my kingdom knew that I had a big heart and followed in my father’s greatness. But when the northern army entered my village with the intent to kill and destroy, escaping Sudan became the only option for my survival.
I was only nine years old when SPLA soldiers rescued me from my village, telling me that they wanted to make sure my village was safe before they would reunite me with my family. Thousands of miles later, I realized they lied. The civil war killed many in my village, including my father and other family members. Many of my friends either died or found themselves torn from their families, as I had been.

Champions of the Faith presents three Advent worship services with homilies based on the life and teachings of Athanasius, Ambrose, and Augustine. Through these homilies, you will meet these three champions of faith as if they lived today.

La vida y tiempos de Beatriz García es una historia verdaderamente fascinante y apasionante de los triunfos en las adversidades y las penurias por esta mujer de fe. Se puede ver cómo su confianza en Dios es un testimonio para muchos y para su familia. Como la esposa de un Pastor, su entrega a Dios, a la familia, y a la iglesia, es una inspiración para mí y para aquéllos que la aman. Creo que los que hacen bien sólo para sí mismos son recordados durante su vida, pero los que hacen bien a otros alcanzarán la inmortalidad. Rubén R. García Aunque sobran libros de los ricos y famosos, los inventores y los innovadores, no puede haber entre ellos un libro más dulce para mí, que el que cuenta la historia de mi madre. Este libro registra y revela la vida de una mujer que por medio del Espíritu Santo, mantuvo la fe en medio de la adversidad. Una creyente en Cristo, que en su vejez de 96 años busca cada mañana el espíritu de agradecimiento para bendecir el nombre de Jesús. Elizabeth Martín La historia de Beatriz García es un libro interesante e inspirador. Al leer su historia se ve el nombre de Jesús escrito en todos los acontecimientos de su vida. Sus penurias y alegrías me ayudan a comprender que la felicidad no viene de las posesiones materiales, sino del amor y de la alegría que Dios da gratuitamente. La vida de mi madre ha sido una auténtica inspiración para mí, para sus amigos y para sus familiares. Ella es un verdadero modelo de una mujer virtuosa cristiana, fuerte en la fe y llena de sabiduría y amor. Alicia Landeros
