Canon James Stack was born to missionary parents in the North Island, and he later worked with Maori people in the South Island. In this biography he relates the story of a Maori warrior with a simple faith - Koro - was was kidnapped and enslaved by Te Rauparaha in
his youth, but freed to live out his faith in and around Christchurch during the mid to late 1800s. Stack’s friendship with Koro says much about the attitudes of the day and the timeless simplicity of the Christian faith.
Excerpt:
"His ideas and opinions about the behaviour of Christians in their daily life, what they ought and what they ought not to do, were, strange to say, almost identical with those of the old Puritans, though he had never heard of their existence, nor seen any of their writings, and had learnt all he knew about Christian doctrine and practice from a man who had no sympathy with Puritanism."
