In this book, the reader is transported to many locations in Papua New Guinea while savoring the author’s true stories and identifying with his experiences. From West Sepik to Madang, from the mountain heights of the Highlands to the Bismarck Sea-washed shores, the reader has the opportunity to resonate with the cultural context of the Asia-Pacific region. These people groups, nearly forgotten by the western world, live in the characteristic “endless cycle” style of the past. In their animistic worldview, the people of this area hold the belief that nothing changes. According to indigenous culture, the human spirit continuously transforms into other forms of life after it ceases to exist as a human. So, ancestors still exist and will always exist in the form of spirits in the universe that surrounds us. For that reason, time does not exist, so history is not worth recording: what is now was also in the past, and what will come tomorrow is a rebirth of the past and of those from the past in another form. How then does a young country (established in 1975) reconcile the modern age with indigenous traditions? How does an animistic society embrace new Christian teachings in the midst of naturalistic-evolutionistic times? Centaurus and the Southern Cross attempts to bring to the forefront a rediscovery of the reasons why there is value in using every available technology to advance the Good News here at the ends of the earth. Although this book’s stories are not arranged chronologically, they share a common theme of indigenous customs, and the way they impact societal behaviors in this region. This is what gives the book its continuity. I would not have been able to present certain aspects of the way the Word of God works in a people rooted and still tied to animistic practices if I had not chosen to examine these issues first. I found that the best way to transport the reader into this world of 839 tribes was by describing particular revealing events first. This book introduces the goals which make it worth investing in these people through any means possible and with every talent God has given us.

The hermetic tradition claims "As above, so below". Did the ancients mean that literally? Stars, Stones and Scholars shows that many ancient megalithic sites are not tombs, but are remnants of ancient local, regional and perhaps even larger Neolithic surveys of the Earth by Stone Age astronomy, with gigantic stones being placed as immovable survey markers. Circa 40 photographs, 240 drawings and 80 maps show how megaliths were carved and "sculpted" with figures and cupmarks (holes in the stones) to represent stars and constellations, long before the modern astrological Zodiac was known. Megalithic sites from England (Stonehenge), Wales (Paviland), Scotland (Clava Cairns), Ireland (Newgrange, Knowth), Germany (Externsteine), Benelux (Weris), France (Carnac), Italy (La Spezia), Malta (Tarxien), Greece, Turkey (Anatolia), Scandinavia (Tanum), the Baltic, Russia, the Near East, the Far East (China and Japan), Africa, Central and South America (Tikal, Maya, Aztecs), Oceania (Hawaii), The USA (Cahokia, Miami Circle, Clovis) and Canada (Peterborough Petroglyphs) are included in this fascinating book.
