Ratana the Prophet
from Penguin in book stores now
“Ratana: The Prophet belongs to all those who are hungry for
reconciliation between tribes and nations and to ‘the generation’ who Ratana
believed would pick up his spiritual and political mantle and lead the way
through the open gate or doorway to true enlightenment and prosperity.” —
Keith Newman
 Penguin which acquired Reed (Raupo) at the end
of 2007 commissioned writer Keith Newman to rework Ratana Revisited
