Cry the Wounded Land

Conversations with God about Maori, Pakeha and the land

Beschreibung

MARK HOLLOWAY DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BLOODY HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND - BUT HE DISCOVERS THAT GOD DOES. When he least expects it, God startles Mark, author of best seller The Freedom Diaries, with a back and forth conversation about M¿ori (Indigenous), P¿keh¿ (European) and the Land (New Zealand). The conversation is astonishing in its clarity, and incredibly moving - yet at the same time, uncomfortable, scary. It doesn't make easy reading. God gently explains how we got into the mess of racial tension we're in, that neither is without guilt. He unfolds the reason he brought M¿ori and P¿keh¿ to New Zealand - a reason that would ultimately change the entire world. Well known authors, M¿ori and P¿keh¿, say that the 19 conversations with God in this book, are what we desperately need to hear to achieve peace in New Zealand. Bestselling international authors say CRY THE WOUNDED LAND is urgent reading for people in every nation. This is not a book about repentance. In these 19 mind-blowing conversations with God, you'll hear God explain why we need to get together, M¿ori and P¿keh¿, in a marriage of cultures, so we can achieve what he brought us to New Zealand to do. He says the land cries out under the burden of blood we have all spilled on it, that it aches and groans for the day we begin to do what we were brought to these beautiful shores to do. Together.

Autor

At the worst time of his life, Mark Holloway stumbled by accident on how to have a back and forth conversation with God. Desperate and at the end of himself, Mark screamed at God and to his amazement, God answered. Confused and unbelieving, Mark struggled - was this really happening? Does God actually converse with mere humans, particularly messed up ones like him, or was he just finally going mad? Criticism from the religious soon threw him and he almost gave up. But then, at the eleventh hour, leading Christian figures, many of them outside of church, encouraged Mark, telling him he was definitely hearing God. Still unsure Mark published some of his conversations with God as blogs. Readers lives were changed, demand grew and a book followed, The Freedom Diaries. At the same time Mark reunited with his wife Miriam after five years apart. The book quickly became a New Zealand best seller, with thousands selling in the US and the UK. More books followed, in his latest, Cry the Wounded Land - conversations with God about Maori, Pakeha and the Land, Mark discovers to his horror that God wants to talk about the bloody history of New Zealand. The book is already a hot seller with demand growing daily. If you're unhappy with the religious view of God you're in luck. Mark's books will change your life forever. His down to earth approach to a back and forth, and completely unreligious friendship with God, is endorsed by leading authors and speakers around the world.
