The Land Is Not Empty

Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery

By: Sarah Augustine

White settlers saw land for the taking. They failed to consider the perspective of the people already here. In The Land Is Not Empty, author Sarah Augustine unpacks the harm of the Doctrine of Discovery—a set of laws rooted in the fifteenth century that gave Christian governments the moral and legal right to seize lands they “discovered” despite those lands already being populated by indigenous peoples. Legitimized by the church and justified by a misreading of Scripture, the Doctrine of Discovery says a land can be considered “empty” and therefore free for the taking if inhabited by “heathens, pagans, and infidels.” In this prophetic book, Augustine, a Pueblo woman, reframes the colonization of North America as she investigates ways that the Doctrine of Discovery continues to devastate indigenous cultures, and even the planet itself, as it justifies exploitation of both natural resources and people. This is a powerful call to reckon with the root causes of a legacy that continues to have devastating effects on indigenous peoples around the globe and a call to recognize how all of our lives and our choices are interwoven. What was done in the name of Christ must be undone in the name of Christ, the author claims. The good news of Jesus means there is still hope for the righting of wrongs. Right relationship with God, others, and the earth requires no less.

Aside the Margaret River

By: Augustine Nash

In 1830 the Dunn family, two farm workers and a governess Allie emigrate to Western Australia, building 'Woburn House' beside the Margaret River. A daughter is born which is a disappointment causing a rift between the couple.The story follows the success and failure of the family, their trials and up lifting times as they strive through three generations to make a life in their new environment. Native Aboriginals prove to be invaluable to their survival and relationships' are formed with other white settlers.The land itself proves hostile in typical Australian style with bush fires, drought, cattle stealing and plagues of rabbits. There are difficulties but encouragement too, salvage from a wrecked ship, gold; marriage into a wealthy family, pearls discovered, and children born.Agatha, the last of the line endures the sorrows of two World Wars and as a lonely 70 year old becomes a recluse, pondering all that has gone before and concerned for the future of the house and farm beside the beautiful Margaret River which she has so loved.The author has illustrated the heading of each chapter with her own drawings of Australian wild flowers.

The Crop of Death

By: Augustine Sherman

Until nineteen ninety-one, fifteen republics made up the Soviet Union. In December nineteen twenty-two, Byelorussia, Transcaucasia, Russia and Ukraine were the four founding republics that signed a treaty creating the USSR. During the nineteen twenty-four national demarcation, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were formed from parts of Russia's Turkestan and two Soviet dependencies: Bukharan, and Khorezm. Five years later, Tajikistan was divided from Uzbekistan, and, Transcaucasian dissolved with the constitution of nineteen thirty-six, resulting in the elevation of its constituent republics of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia to Union Republics, while Kazakhstan and Kirghizia were split off from Russian. In nineteen forty, Moldavia was formed from parts of the Northern Bukovina, Ukraine and Bessarabia, while Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were also admitted into the union, which generally, wasn't recognized by most members of the international community and frowned upon as an illegal occupation.
