[Black and white edition] The world will never forget 2020. The challenge of the covid pandemic has affected all our lives, especially the Kiwi diaspora - those many New Zealanders around the world, working and playing and representing the spirit of our nation.Continuing his 'This is us' series from pre-covid, Wellingtonian Pete Carter sought out the stories of Kiwis around the world during the 2020 pandemic: locked down, isolated, stuck, away from home and family, making it work for themselves wherever they were. Here are nearly 200 stories, from Kiwis alone, with their partners, with family & whanau, or with flatmates; across every continent, working, surviving, having fun, making the most it. This is our family. And wherever they are, this is their home.

When designer Andy Knight decided to post some of his artistic creations on a spoof 'Alien Artefacts' website, he thought he was just having fun with the gullible public - until government agents turned up. He was arrested, interrogated and threatened. They wanted his 'artefacts'. The real ones! They didn't believe he had made them up. Knight's future went into a tailspin when they showed him a 60-year-old photo of an artefact almost identical to one he had dreamed up. And when a follower of his web site sent him a strange device for safekeeping, and was promptly murdered, Knight decided to keep that one secret. Researching the origins of that device cost his friend his life, and sent Knight on a chilling journey through history untold. On the run, he turned the tables on his attacker, and uncovered some incredible facts. Not least, the agent, Marlon Brady, claimed to be a time traveller, here to fight against the manipulation of history by a century-old secret organisation - the Legacy Trust. He revealed a plot which, he claimed only he and Knight could thwart. Where did the 'alien artefacts' fit in? Were they alien? Somebody wanted the technology enough to kill for it. Was Brady really a time traveller? Knight had seen some convincing evidence that he was, but then, Brady had lied before. An ever changing quest to uncover both the truth and the Legacy Trust takes Knight from England to the seat of U.S. government in Washington, his trail marked by bodies, thanks to Brady. Can they stop the Trust in time, or is World War III already in motion? But what Knight learns in the U.S.A. only adds to his confusion...

BILL JOHNSON, Senior Leader, Bethel Church, Redding, California: "The impact of Unwrapping Lazarus will be powerful and long lasting. It needs to be read by people from a great variety of backgrounds and occupations. We were born for the freedom described on these pages. Be ready to be inspired, instructed, and encouraged." DANNY SILK, Director of Global Transformation Institute: "In these pages is enough courage, risk and revelation to spark a personal revival for the reader and a corporate revival for those who hear the testimonies ... I highly recommend that you read this book and that you prepare yourself for an encounter with the Living God." Pete Carter helps us to understand with greater clarity how to participate in the amazing works of God and enrich the lives of those around us with His love and power. He uses the story of Lazarus, brought back from the dead, as a parallel for our spiritual lives. Though Lazarus was raised up, he wasn't truly "free" until his restrictive grave clothes were removed. One of our main tasks in serving Jesus is to "unwrap Lazarus" - to help people become all they were created to be. We were all born to be fully "unwrapped" - to love God more, trust Him more, and do all that Jesus did and more! About the authorPete Carter is a medical doctor and church leader. He is part of the senior leadership team of North Kent Community Church and part of the teaching staff of NKCC's School of Supernatural Ministry.
