    Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang...

    Yentin Ongbou Chang came from a priestly clan. Due to the various rituals it performs, his clan is prohibited from eating beef and mutton due to the odor from the meat. The biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang is the story of a tribal statesman from the Chang Naga tribe of Northeast India. Yentin Ongbou loved his people and helped them to advance. He lived a traditional life through many societal changes in Nagaland and in India. In the early days, his land and people were remote and unreached. The Chang people fought with other tribes, as well as the British and Indian government for many years before becoming a part of the Indian union. He was a government official for over four decades. He was an ancestor worshipper who later followed Jesus Christ. Yentin Ongbou Chang, with only the traditional tribal education, succeeded in having all his eight children graduate from college. He loved education and from very early on he understood the importance of education.  
    Only in recent years, through social media, are the rest of India and the outside world beginning to learn and hear about the people from Northeast India. The geography and the people of Northeast India were not taught in the schools in India. Through The Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang of a Priestly Clan, we hope we can educate and inform outsiders about the Chang Naga tribe from Nagaland. India is such a diverse country. That diversity is also the greatest strength of India.

    Villages of Poland hide the lost secrets of World War II 
     
     
     
    1944: Heavy footfalls thud on the road on a rainy May night. A band of gunmen scour a hilltop farm, acting on rumors that it harbors a Jewish family. For 18 months, the Rozeneks have been hiding safely, but their luck is about to run out. Only one from the family of six will live to see the sunrise. Sixteen-year-old Hena Rozenek shelters in the woods until morning . . . and then she runs. 
     
     
     
    Forty years later: Holocaust survivor Sam Rakowski Ron has lived in the United States for decades, never thinking he could return to the Polish village he fled as a teenager. But now he's ready to talk about what he heard, what he saw, and what he knows about two separate families of cousins who were his neighbors, and presumably were killed during the war. The story Poland presents to the world is that Poles saved more Jews than citizens of any other nation, that any murders in Poland were committed by Nazis and Nazis alone. But Sam, while defending his countrymen, suspects a painful truth. The stories he shares with his younger cousin, Judy, an investigative journalist, send them off on a decades-long journey unlike any other to find out what happened to the Rozenek family and ultimately reveal the secrets the Polish government is still desperate to keep.

    Controlled Chaos - Surgical...

    Chitokoloki Mission Hospital is a remote but remarkable facility in the North-Western Province of Zambia. This book comes from a compilation of daily reports about life in a remote African mission hospital. It is written from a personal and clinical angle and with a surgical emphasis because that formed the bulk of the activity that has been recorded. The detailed experiences of many patients has been captured and the authors convey the almost unbelievable reality that their experience reflects. Initially the reports formed a flowing clinical news blog and they have been assembled in book form to include the Christian context as well as insights into the reality of daily life in the local villages. Again and again these stories have been the focus of discussion and enquiry and it has been good to share the experiences to the point that others who become aware are ready to pray, support, give and even visit in order to contribute in some way to the work of the mission.
