A history of Oceania based on the personal experience of the author. It relies on the imagery of seven giant Pacific 'rollers', or tsunami, to describe the settlement of the South Sea Islands by different groups of people. Part Two is concerned with the fortunes of one particular group of islands, those of Samoa from 1941 onwards. Her people had to come to terms with the occupation by American troops in the Pacific War 1941-1946, and its aftermath. Further major upheavals took place as Western Samoa became Independent in 1962. The writer lived through fifty years of 'progress'.

Have you ever felt betrayed by a family member? Have you ever needed even a glimpse of hope to help you through a tough situation? In the Old Testament, we read that Joseph was thrown into a pit and then sold by his own brothers. This great betrayal left him feeling alone and in despair. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of his troubles. Being Joseph takes a closer, pastoral perspective on perseverance through hardships, the value of forgiveness even when it’s near impossible, and the redemptive hope of reconciliation. Joseph’s story expands on dreams, slavery, seduction, imprisonment, and the restoration of a family. In the worst moments of Joseph’s life, we can see that God never left his side. The lessons we can learn from this book can help enrich our daily lives in this difficult world today. All ages will benefit from this captivating commentary on a real family, just like yours.
