It is October of 1838 as a volunteer cavalry of Mormons gather in the woods. Ill-prepared for battle, they organize as best they can to face hundreds of mobbers who, with the governor's support, have besieged the people of DeWitt, Missouri. With supplies running low, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are starving. But there is a bright light amid the darkness of despair: the cavalry's distinguished leader, Seymour Brunson. As Major Brunson leads his nervous soldiers into battle with the mobbers, he reassures them that God is on their side. Buoyed by courage and determination, the soldiers defend the DeWitt Saints-until they are all betrayed. But all is not lost as Brunson evades his captors and bravely helps the Saints find safety in Illinois. A Lively Stone is an engaging story of action, heroism, and love based on true events that chronicle the life of an important leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In 1961, John F. Kennedy referred to the Papuans as “living, as it were, in the Stone Age.” For the most part, politicians and scholars have since learned not to call people “primitive,” but when it comes to the Papuans, the Stone-Age stain persists and for decades has been used to justify denying their basic rights. Why has this fantasy held such a tight grip on the imagination of journalists, policy-makers, and the public at large? Living in the Stone Age answers this question by following the adventures of officials sent to the New Guinea highlands in the 1930s to establish a foothold for Dutch colonialism. These officials became deeply dependent on the good graces of their would-be Papuan subjects, who were their hosts, guides, and, in some cases, friends. Danilyn Rutherford shows how, to preserve their sense of racial superiority, these officials imagined that they were traveling in the Stone Age—a parallel reality where their own impotence was a reasonable response to otherworldly conditions rather than a sign of ignorance or weakness. Thus, Rutherford shows, was born a colonialist ideology. Living in the Stone Age is a call to write the history of colonialism differently, as a tale of weakness not strength. It will change the way readers think about cultural contact, colonial fantasies of domination, and the role of anthropology in the postcolonial world.

Fiction. Short stories of members, young and old, belonging to a church community during a period of approximatley thirty years. This is not a history of the church. Nor is it biographical, although several of the stories relate to the same people at different stages or ages of life. In Scripture, the Apostle Peter states: "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house.." (1 Peter 2:4). These are the 'Living Stones' of the stories: precious tiny gems that sparkle between the larger blocks that make up the walls and support the roof; the various colours and shapes of the precious and semi-precious stones that make the building welcoming and gracious. They are stories of the quarrying, the shaping and the cleaning, and the fitting them in place. We meet them in their homes and in their church home, visit with them and bid them farewell. My prayer is that you will enjoy your visit and that you will find your place as a lively stone in the fabric of the church, growing in grace. God bless you.
