Hear the Tales of Faith that Overcomes Fear in When the Tiger Roars

DALLAS, Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When the Tiger Roars by Graeme Cann is a reflection of real-world issues centered on Sampa, a village in a valley surrounded by mountainous terrain and a rainforest rich with flora and fauna. Guided by whom they call the Great Creator, they lived as a community of love, acceptance, and equality. However, a new militaristic ruler seizes power and overthrows the benevolent Elders of Sampa, and life for its people is changed forever.

The core values practiced by the lead servants of Sampa encouraged trust among its people, and everyone was part of one spiritual family. After the appointment of the first Mother-Father, the well-loved authority that guides the village, Sampians and the Great One of the forest established a Covenant which must be followed by both sides. This Covenant taught the villagers the importance of unity and openness as well as a respect for nature and creatures of the forest.

"Every man, woman, and child was made by the Great Creator, so every person was of equal value and worthy of honour and understanding…. That men as a general rule were physically stronger than women there was no doubt; that women often dealt better with physical pain and emotional stress was also broadly accepted," the author shared the ideals of Sampians when it came to gender equality. "And both these realities led to the understanding that recognised strengths and weakness were not measures of worth, but were opportunities to serve each other."

Bloody rebellion by violent radicals sent Sampa spiraling down until it was transformed into a village ruled by a tyrannical, paranoid, and power-hungry council. Villagers struggled to provide for their daily needs as men toiled in the forest or the mines while women and children were left at home to do housework. Sampians had forgotten the values that their Mother-Father and Elders from long ago encouraged them to practice, until a man named Alofa began learning about the old ways from a self-exiled Sampian named Muralu. Upon learning how to read and hearing about the Great Stories of his ancestors from Muralu, Alofa banded together with his wife and close friends with the goal of educating their people and overthrowing the oppressive ruling council.

"The pain in childbirth does not speak of some past traumatic event but it speaks of new life and new beginnings…. The pain that accompanies a bad memory can come as a reminder that you now live in the freedom of forgiveness," author Graeme Cann shares, to point out that even the most painful of suffering can be the best opportunity for personal change. "Do not in the future suppress memories that bring you pain, but welcome them as proof that you have been wonderfully transformed."
