Forsaking all speculation and guesswork, it finally puts the matter to rest beyond...

Did sixteenth century Portuguese navigators reach as far as Australia and New Zealand? Did they draw charts of the coastlines? After more than 200 years of speculation and debate an answer to these questions is at last within our reach -- thanks largely to science and logic.

Did 16th century Portuguese navigators reach the shores of these two countries and chart them? This book catalogues all major attempts over the last 500 years to answer these questions.

I draw from my love of world mythologies, history, and of course, poetry in an attempt to explore numerous topics ranging from political issues to existential struggles. I observe the world around me and try to interpret it in a unique way.

Hiding in the past of every country are little pieces of information that have never really seen the light of day. This book is like a vacuum cleaner, reaching into all the little cracks and crevices of New Zealand's past and sucking out information which has largely been unknown and unsuspected until now.

Many new versions of the Christian belief system have arisen in recent times to challenge the faith of our fathers. So how is it possible to assess their validity? The general rule is that if new ideas are held up against the searing light of Scripture and found to be wanting, they should be discarded. Which is exactly what this book does with Bishop John Spong's utterences and writings.

If an idea has Scriptural backing it is genuine. If it doesn't, then it is counterfeit. This book holds the ideas of New-Age "Christians" up against the searing light of Scripture and finds them all wanting.
