We are not what we eat. We are what we read.
Dear parents
Reading and studying good books is essential for personal growth and development for both us and our children. The most important book we can read and study is the Bible. It is not just a book, but a living and active Word that can change our lives. Jesus said, “I am the Word” (John 1:1) and “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst” (John 6:35).
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. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS (Dan & June).

It’s here! The book many of you have been waiting for.
PEACE, SAMOA, PEACE.
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.

About Queen Kapiolani
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.”
