  • Passion, Purpose & Power
    JAMES R. NIX Recapturing the Spirit of the Adventist Pioneers Today Reminds us of the past and revives the same spirit of commitment and sacrifice evident in the Adventist pioneers in ministry leaders and disciples today! No matter what age we are, or what age we are in, the idea of sitting at the feet of someone who is telling a story brings back feelings of childhood awe, trust, and expectation. This book is an invitation to all ages, to sit and listen as these stories—told by the Adventist pioneers themselves—paint a picture of real people and their lives. These are stories of total commitment and incredible sacrifices that only a passion for Jesus, a dedication to His purposes, and the power of the Holy Spirit can generate! Draw close to the fireside of this second (updated and expanded) edition, and find yourself aglow with inspiration. Come, listen, and you might just hear the God of the pioneers call your name, sense a revival in your heart, and feel a renewed sense of mission in your life—one that draws from you a similar spirit of sacrifice and commitment! “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.” —General Conference Bulletin, Jan. 29, 1893.

  • Norfolk Island Article
    The Pitcairn- by Steve Pendleton itcairn Island in the P acifi c Ocean is one of the most storied isles in the wo rld. Th ousands of Pbooks and articles have been written about it. Th is is due primarily not only to its isolation but to the origin of its people: they are descendants of the famous crew of the HMAV Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian. Besides being far away from pretty much everything, Pitcairn has another major problem. It is tiny, with only two square miles of land, much of which is quite hilly. Several times in its history, this has meant that the popu- lation has had to leave, because the land could no longer support them. Today there are perhaps only fi ft y or so people living on the island at any one time. Pitcairners have fared forth throughout the world — establishing large colonies in New Zealand, in particular. However, there’s one place tha t has r eceived and sheltered Pitcairn families more than any other — Nor- folk Island. Th is island is also small, but at fi ve by three miles is a bit larger than the ancestral home. It lies be- tween Australia and New Zealand, and so is thousands of miles away from Pitcairn. Nevertheless, even today, at least half of its population of several thousand are de- scended from mutineer ancestors. Th is is the st ory of a uniq ue connection — s ome- times very tenuous — between two groups of kinsmen. It’s a connection sometimes maintained, very loosely, by the mail.
