I Own This, For Reals

Da Jesus Book: The New Testament "translated" into Hawaiian Pidgin. It is a must read! It cheers me up when I feel weighed down by law books. Here are some back cover reviews (for reals, reals):

"I like dis Bible. I can undastan!"--high school student, Nanakuli

"The English Bible speaks to my head, but the Pidgin Bible speaks to my heart."--University of Hawaii graduate student

"We need a Pidgin Bible!"--pastor, Wai'anae

"Oh! Dass wat dat mean!"--Leeward Coast churchgoer in Bible study

"People buy a lot of them to give to their relatives."--book store manager guy, Honolulu
