The Power of the Gospels on Anthropophagy / Cannibalism in Fiji

Historians claimed that the early Fijians adopted cannibalism from their long voyage at sea. The lack of adequate nutrition forced these sailors to consume the dead in order to survive. When they landed in Fiji, this practice of anthropophagy/cannibalism became part of the Fijian diet. A WARNING TO YOU AS A READER - In keeping with the authentic tone throughout, you will come across scenes of ritualistic slaughtering and anthropophagy/cannibalism. Some passages are extremely graphic but paint a very vivid picture of the Fijian way of life during that time period. Further, these passages bring to mind how appropriate it was to convert native Fijians to Christianity. It was truly beneficial that Fijians were brought into the "modern" world and shown the light by missionaries of that time. Dr. Jone Senibici and his wife Mereosi Litea are Fijian-born Canadian citizens. They are highly knowledgeable about Fijian history and Fijian customs and culture. This book has a bit of everything: violence, humour, historical detail, Christianity, and plenty of twists to keep one reading. You, the reader, will be drawn in from the very beginning and taken for a wild ride through to the very end.
