- This book "is an offering to churches and the world -- a significant and vital addition to the continuum of knowledge -- that will greatly assist churches to be effective and efficient in the struggle to overcome HIV/AIDS. It is a compilation of historical, scientific and statistical material aimed at providing churches and their partners with a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV/AIDS as well as current information to aid in collaborative efforts at answering the challenge of the disease. .... On a practical level this response is deliberately multi-faceted and interactive, encouraging churches and Christian service organizations to build and support coalitions dedicated to overcoming this epidemic". -- Preface.

- "'To Live Among the Stars' is an account of Christian origins in the Pacific Islands to 1900 and slightly beyond. A full and detailed history would call for several volumes. .... Certain clear limits have had to be set for this book. The Latter Day Saints, the Seventh-day Adventists and Pentecostal and Faith missions are only marginally included. The churches mainly described now belong to the Pacific Conference of Churches. .... Previous accounts of Christianity in Oceania have been dominated by the assumption that church growth came mainly from Europe and North America. In reality, early in the development, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand were important sub-bases for missionary initiative and co-operation with the islands. Their role should be plain when account is taken of the narrative and indication of sources in 'To Live Among the Stars'." -- Foreword.
