At kristendommen er en del af vores historie og kultur, er alle enige om. Men at kristendommen selv 'har historie', tænker nok ikke så mange over. Sagen er, at den kristne kirke, dens lære, dens sakramenter og dens institutioner er blevet til gennem en proces, som fandt sin foreløbige afslutning i oldtiden i mødet mellem den jødisk-kristne og den græsk-romerske kultur, og som videre udviklede det middelalderlige samfund. Som universitetslek...

As adolescence gave way to young adulthood and all of the emotions and responsibilities that new stage brought along with it, this collection grew to become more about the power of faith and the necessity of hope, about acceptance of the things we cannot change, learning to find strength within ourselves to continue on against adversity and loss, and about how to make the quality of one's life better by simply taking it one day at a time.

This second volume was written as a way of putting into perspective the love, heartbreak, and alcoholism I experienced upon moving back to my hometown, following a ten year absence, during which I traveled along the U.S. east coast and Canada. My journey of self-discovery was approaching its end.

This collection of poetry and photography began as a way to overcome the confusion of adolescence and to record how my relationships with family and friends had altered, if not suffered, during this difficult time. Perhaps most importantly, however, it eventually became about the positive relationships we find (or that somehow manage to find us) within, what often times seems, an overwhelming world of nameless faces.

Every family in Waikato has its own account of this history but out there, beyond us all, there was a public record and it is that which this book contains.

A dynamic and absolutely compelling reflection of the cultural and linguistic fusion that Aotearoa and the Pacific is now." -- Albert Wendt

My book introduces Wally, the giraffe, his long neck and his special friend, Sam. My very talented illustrator does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life, while making them colorful and fun. It is about making the most of the special talents you are given and how important friendships become along the way. This is a light, fun read and my fervent wish is to put a smile on every child's face.
