Description

Hawaiian Myths of Earth, Sea, and SkyWhen the storytellers of ancient Hawaii gathered by the light of candlenut torches, they told tales that explained the world around them. These tales described how the gods created the earth and its life, how the stars were created, and why the days are longer in summer. Other stories recounted the pranks of Kamapuaa the Pig Man, the origin of the tapa tree, the death of the monster reptile mo o, and the home of the volcano goddess, Pele. From this

When the storytellers of ancient Hawaii gathered by the light of candlenut torches, they told tales that explained the world around them. These tales described how the gods created the earth and its life, how the stars were created, and why the days are longer in summer. Other stories recounted the pranks of Kamapuaa the Pig-Man, the origin of the tapa tree, the death of the monster reptile mo-o, and the home of the volcano goddess, Pele.

From this rich body of mythology, author Vivian Thompson has drawn twelve myths. She retells them with the true flavor and simplicity of the storytellers of long ago. Thompson's words are accompanied by the illustrations of Hawaii artist Marilyn Kahalewai, who has captured the delight and drama of the ancient tales.

Inspiration
This book was very inspirational and informative. Tim Ross' writing style was conversational and made the book Ann easy read. It answered questions I had about evangelism and inspired me to want to be Ann Upsetters.

I'm upset! ..and now I'm an upsetter!
What a powerful evangelism tool. Very well written and full of thought-provoking clarity. As I read, it was almost as if the stories were a mirror reading me. This book has inspired me to start a study group with young adults to inspire them to become upsetters as well. I want this message to be contagious! Blessings!!

Officially An Upsetter!
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading Upset the World, and I’m ready to read it again! This is the book you need that you didn’t know you needed. So much truth, so much revelation, and so much perspective. The book itself is also beautiful and easy to read. Tim Ross’ words, humor, and truth is the perfect mix bringing this message to the world.

Easy reading but with a lot of truth
No guilt or condemnation but very motivating. It makes me realize that we all have gifts that God has given us and that we can all do something important for Him. That just because we aren’t mega church pastors doesn’t mean there is not something for us to do for Him
