Neville Cooper started out with divine impulses: to preach the Word and bring sinners to God, and to build a Christian utopia on earth. However, not all his followers could stomach the rule of this charismatic, wilful, driven, and self-righteous man. Especially his eldest son Phil. This is a story of courage and resourcefulness telling Phil Cooper's extraordinary story. Beginning with Neville's heady, tent-touring days in Australia and New Zealand to the development of his 400 strong Gloriavale Community on the West Coast of the South Island.

High Country Lark : An Invitation to Paradise

Paperback
Author:
Neville Peat

The New Zealand high country holds a special place for us all: it's New Zealand's equivalent of the 'Wild West': a rugged, rustic, spectacularly beautiful frontier. The relationship we have with the hills, mountains and lakes resonants within us all when we hear the words HIGH COUNTRY. Its steep mountains, tumbling rivers, moss-bedecked beech forest, and snow and ice in high places speak of 'a mountain fastness and wilderness dramatically arrayed' - we call it 'Middle Earth'. The characters who roamed the hills, old prospectors like Arawata Bill, are like our own Jessie James or Kit Carson. It ought to be a haven for wildlife: for the mischievous kea and for the haunting song of the kakapo. Author Neville Peat takes us into the Head of the Lake area - that's head of Lake Wakatipu. Into Paradise - yes it's a real place - up the Rees Valley, into the Dart, the Greenstone and Caples valleys. We roam the hills and meet up with the Lark, an ...

High Misadventure explores the dark face of climbing in New Zealand - the times when a slip or a poor decision can lead to tragedy. Climber/journalist Paul Hersey takes eight incidents from among the many of recent decades, and explores the critical factors behind them. Among the incidents he covers are the deaths of five climbers when the Three Johns Hut blew away in 1977, the 1990 loss of six army cadets during a training exercise on Ruapehu, and the 2004 deaths of four climbers on Mount Tasman. As well as offering a white-knuckle read, this book will improve our understanding of what can go wrong on the mountains, and will be of great interest to both climbers and non-climbers. Unlike other recent, more general books on survival in the New Zealand outdoors, this title focuses exclusively on mountain incidents and covers each one in ...

The New Zealand Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) is an elite group of highly trained professionals, brought together in an emergency to protect the public from armed criminals, yet it is shrouded in mystery and myth. Born in the 1960s as a necessary response to random acts of violence, the AOS and the ultra-elite Anti-Terrorist Squad took on the burgeoning organised crime scene of the 1970s and the horror of Aromoana in the 1990's. Today the AOS remains as the Police frontline rapid response to protect the public from armed criminals. However in the changing world of the twenty-first century, threats to public order and safety have reached new heights and new responses are needed - the Special Tactics Group (STG) has been created to defend against and respond to possible threats from domestic terrorism as well as the most difficult armed confrontations.
Written and illustrated from the exciting three-part TV documentary series, this is ...

“George Orwell said that every writer was both vain and lazy. Assuming a columnist counts as a writer, then I’m with him. Every word I write is a victory for vanity over laziness. Every unwritten word’s a defeat. Orwell also said that every writer was to some degree an aesthete. I’m with him on that too. Sweet language tempts me to believe things I don’t believe and to say things I don’t mean. He was a wise fellow, old George, but he was terribly serious. I’m not with him on that.”
Bill Bryson called him brilliant. Dave Barry called him excellent. The Daily Mail in London called him deadly accurate and absurdly funny. The Southland Times called him a national treasure. Barking is Joe Bennett’s sixth collection of columns, written in language so sharp you could stick pigs with it. If you don’t like laughing, thinking or seeing the world afresh, don’t buy it.

Doggone

If, as Clive James said, a sense of humour is just common sense dancing, Joe Bennett’s a ball. Doggone, the fifth collection of his columns, overflows with the delicious prose, the puncturing of pretension, the wisdom and the wit that marked the bestsellers Just Walking the Dogs, Sleeping Dogs and Other Lies, So Help Me Dog and Sit. As Bennett fans have come to expect – indeed to rely on - the subject matter in these pages is gloriously and absurdly varied, from gym bunnies to bishops, from financial advisers to redundant roosters.
Joe Bennett’s columns are syndicated to newspapers throughout New Zealand. He has twice been voted columnist of the year, has had two collections of his work published worldwide by Simon & Schuster, is a regular pundit on television and lives in a steep bit of Lyttelton with a little black mongrel called Jess.
