In this book, Laiu Fachhai introduces the Mara people and their land, covering areas such as the location and topography of the land, the Mara ethnicity, Maraland political administration, the structure and customs of the Mara society, the Mara matrilineal past, inheritance and royal succession in Maraland, and Mara religion before the arrival of Christianity. The book devotes special attention to how the arrival of Christianity has transformed the Mara people from their traditional polytheistic beliefs to a monotheistic Christianity, including the making of the Maraland Church into a self-supporting, missionary-sending church. The book concludes by addressing challenges that Mara Christians face today and provides a summary of suggestions for addressing these problems.
