I've been hearing (positive things) about this book for a few years; a copy finally ended up in my possession; I've got to chapter 2 so far; I can see it becoming a standard book on my shelf and for many missiologists in Melanesia. I've appreciated Bartle's work in journals (2005) and now I'm glad to have a chance to absorb this longer case study. (How am I the first person reviewing this book? Thanks, Bartle, for your scholarship.)

And: can I give a shout-out to the Melanesian Institute and the Point series, which have been the source of so many insights that have guided my research during my student years? Cheers, guys! Keep publishing.
