Written in a distinctively Australian voice, this remarkable account explores the conversion of a Wotjubaluk Aboriginal youth to Christianity in 1860. Through Nathanael Pepper's conversion, this record conducts a major reappraisal of the nature of Aboriginal and European relations in the first decades of contact in southern Australia. A unique and beautifully written blend of popular history, spirituality, culture, and personal quest, this history examines various aspects of the event, including the ritual slaughter of settlers' stock, the choice of Pepper's baptismal name, the settlers' punitive and murderous raids, and the Moravian Church's celebration of Pepper's conversion.
What an amazing night of music. We laughed, we pondered, and we felt the challenges that life brings us with these two wonderful songwriter/performers. 5 stars all round.
A rather chunky text with some fabulous ideas and highly informative explanations/ introductions. A colleague brought this book to my attention and I borrowed her copy. I had only read approx a quarter and decided that I needed my very own copy. This book needs time, focus and attention to be fully appreciated, absorbed and put into practice. I am definitely looking forward to learning more about creative ways to support mine and my children's mental health AND to encorporating suggestions from the authors into my daily/weekly/monthly routine. So far, the creative processes I have read about seem reasonably easy to implement. I think every household would benefit from this book!
I am so happy with this book shop and the ability to be able to buy online vouchers. They were helpful and friendly when needed.
The Wheel of the Year An Illustrated Guide to Nature's Rhythms is the perfect book for connecting in with the seasons and I know it will be a staple in our home for many years to come. So many gorgeous activities, information and wonderful illustrations, you really can't go wrong. I also love supporting independent business, and the Little Lost Bookshop offered delightful service!
