WITHIN THE BIBLE:
CREATIVES STUDY CREATIVITY
Learn from the PAST...To Reach your FUTURE!
A TRIBE DESPISED is about a tribe of people called THEM. The THEM people do not get along with other groups of people very well, unless they are in control of everyone and everything. However, there were people before THEM, and everyone finally enjoys peace when the THEM people accept that they are no longer in control of others.People around the world have a tendency to pre-judge ideas and people they may not know. A TRIBE DESPISED is about the one being described and judged, and also insights into the describer. Often, people judge because of a lack of history, knowledge or interaction with those who may be different and unfamiliar to them.

THE MESSIAH by Sharon Lee Minor. Acrylic
The main theme of this story is that respectful contact and TRUTH WILL SET ALL OF US FREE when we reduce false impressions about each other. One path to Truth is by creating BEAUTIFUL THINGS & IDEAS. The original people, the PEOPLE OF ORIGIN know this, and after the THEM people have been magically overwhelmed, everyone learns just how important it is to make, and do, beautiful thingsespecially for each other.A TRIBE DESPISED is a delightful story for all ages. For the young, it introduces some very basic character-building qualities that encourage children to think beyond their own self- interest. For the older reader, it can restore memories of just how beautiful the world can truly be when we tell the truth, and create a world full of BEAUTY-FULL things that encourage love for one another.To contact the author/illustrator go to: info@octaghanahouse2020.com
