Gerald ClerieGerald Clerie, a direct heir of this incredible legacy, tells for the first time the fascinating story of this adventure that is far from over, but borrows so much from the millennia-old history of the people of the Bible, to answer the burning inquiies of descendants who are dying to find true meaning-as much as to fill the glaring blanks an evangelical community has longed to remove from its collective memory in its passage from the spiritual darkness of five centuries of enslavement to animism and legalistic superstition to the marvelous light of the Gospel of grace.Himself an ordained minister for fifty-nine years, a career educator, a business manager, an entrepreneur in his own right, a church planter, and a twice-published author in both French and English, he takes you back to times immemorial when the Emerald Isle was undergoing colonization by the Celts, through the days of the Thirty Years' War, to the African slave insurrections of the eighteenth century, to Haiti's Independence struggle, bringing to sizzling life a past that must never be forgotten or twisted, for a fresh insight into the tragedy of a nation that should have been a model of democracy, but is slowly dying an ignoble death at the hands of unworthy leaders.
