We are not what we eat. We are what we read. Jesus teaches that food we put into our body cannot defile us. It is what comes from inside our heart that defiles us. For, out of our heart, comes all kinds of evil.
The books we read shape our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Good books challenge us, inspire us, and teach us great lessons from the Bible.
KIN Publications’ goal is to produce children’s books that illustrate some of the truths of the Bible with amazing stories from the Pacific Island to encourage and help children in their walk with Jesus. We pray this goal is a good one for you. Thank you for visiting our website. We’d love to hear from you.
Have you ever been told that something you believe in is a lie? This is the struggle Tama Folau faces in a story of truth and discovery by local Samoan/American writer, Daniel Pouesi, in his latest children’s book, Peace, Samoa, Peace.
When Tama’s teacher claims that Tama’s father’s homeland of Samoa is not a Christian nation, Tama reacts as any humiliated young person might: he loses his temper. He struggles with his emotions until his wise Grandfather Logo steps in with a story (told fagogo or folktale style) about Samoa’s founding father, Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III; how Tamasese faced adversity during
In Peace, Samoa, Peace, Grandfather Logo’s answer to his grandson’s question, “Is Samoa a Christian nation?” may surprise many. Some would probably answer with an emphatic, Yes! Samoa is Christian! The majority of our people are Christians. Our founding fathers, like Tamasese, were Christian. We still honor the
“Sabbath”. We attend church every Sunday and give sacrificially to our pastors.
All these things, (though they may be good) do not a Christian nation make.
Peace, Samoa, Peace launches at the Samoan Heritage Day at the James Foisia Park, Carson, California- JUNE 29, 2024. Information: DPouesi@att.net / (310) 719-5200.
Born at Ka`ū on the island of Hawai`i in 1792, Opukahaia was one of the first native Hawaiians to become a Christian, inspiring American Protestant missionaries to come to the islands during the 19th century. He is credited with starting Hawaii’s conversion to Christianity. His name was usually spelled Obookiah during his lifetime. His name Henry is sometimes Hawaiianized as Heneri. Get a copy of book about Henry (Run, Henry, Run!).
In his “The Hawaiian Islands”, Rufus Anderson writes that next to Queen Kaahumanu, the most noted of the female chief reformer was Kapiolani. “Observing the stronghold which superstition had upon the minds of the people, she made a journey …to the great crater of Kilauea, the supposed residence of Pele, and there, in ways fitted to impress the native mind, set at nought the power and wrath of the pretended goddess.”
That’s our KIN Publications logo. Our young branding and marketing person, Alo Coleman, suggests choosing colors and a logo that say who we are and what we stand for. Colors affect people. They evoke all kinds of feelings and emotions. That says something about our amazing God Who created everything, doesn’t it?Dan picked two colors — Blue and Green. Blue suggests Nature. It is calm and serene. The circle stands for world. In the logo, the world has colored the Bible. Many teach a false Bible or Gospel. AND YET, the truths of the Bible are not affected one bit. Out of the Bible sprouts a GREEN plant! The Bible mentions GREEN often. It usually stands for Life, Renewal and Resurrection. Our company tagline or slogan is: BREAK OUT WITH A GOOD BOOK! If we have the truth (and we do in God’s Word), the world cannot hold us down. We break out of the world!The single, greatest Good Book is the Bible. And it teaches we are not part of this world. Our hope and prayer are, our children’s books will illustrate that single and unbreakable truth! God bless! Dan & June.
