Book Description
Few places in the world have not been explored and reported on to the English-speaking world. The islands of Buton are one of them. In the first comprehensive summary of the people groups and cultures scattered among these islands, there are stories of kings coming back from the dead, holy men jumping from island to island in a single bound, and sea monsters dragging ships down because someone spoke carelessly. Much more remains to be discovered and told, but now you can start to understand these islands and how to get around them, according to the old men and me.

Pages : 182
Book Description
Shrewd Business for the King’s Business lays out a path to Christian growth rooted in cultural wisdom.

Shrewd Business for the King’s Business was developed in a remote part of Eastern Indonesia, blending the author’s expertise on the rich Islamic history and culture of Buton Island with his firsthand experiences in discipleship among local Christians. Drawing inspiration from an influential Islamic teaching that charts spiritual evolution across seven levels, the author presents a profound adaptation for Christians, guiding them towards genuine humility and effective collaboration. Dive into the transformative power of justification and its ripple effect on spiritual growth, self-perception, relationships, and broader interactions. With actionable steps and relatable examples drawn from scripture, Shrewd Business for the King’s Business serves as both a lifelong reference for self-assessment and a valuable tool for understanding fellow believers. This framework further enriches the Christian’s journey with an integrated devotional and study guide. It’s an essential read for Bible study groups, seminary students, missionaries, and Christian social entrepreneurs eager to bridge cultural gaps and grow sustainably in their faith.
