The Man with the Bird on His Head by John Rush

Our songs are about the love and law of John Frum and how we will live forever when he comes. Cargo cult villagers march in formation at the base of a rumbling and fiery volcano. Their ancient prophecies predict the return of a mysterious messenger. Are their prophecies about to come true? Sail with the crew of a medical mission ship into the middle of the hopes and history of this unreached Pacific people group.
