WILD SIDE PUBLISHING was founded in 2014 by Janet and Ray Curle. In its decade-long history, WSP has served New Zealand writers and strengthened voices that deserved to be heard. The wild stallion imagery speaks to the capacity of every person to shake off what has held them back and step into all that is waiting for them. How much easier it is to truly be free and fully alive when there is a community surrounding us, communicating hope and faith, and spurring us on. In December 2024, Torn Curtain acquired Wild Side, releasing Ray and Janet to their new responsibilities with the Arapohue Retreat, where they oversee a healing and recovery centre. Torn Curtain welcomed the existing WSP authors and continues the strong tradition with fresh new titles under this imprint.

All cultures are equal. That is the premise that has dominated our politics and social theory for decades. Consequently, many of us have not come to terms with the erosion of belief in objective value. We have forgotten that culture and the story that explains it are fashioned by religious beliefs, which determine a nation's understanding of its humanity, its character, and legislation.
Multicultural theory, with its avant-garde trinity of diversity, inclusion, and equity, sustained by cultural relativism, must deny the existence of objective value. Truth becomes little more than a matter of opinion.
Those rights that most New Zealanders take for granted, such as religious freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance, freedom of movement and assembly, and equality before the law, are not universal; they did not develop in a vacuum. Multicultural theory presumes the Christian declaration of human dignity, on which all those values are based, but denies that it does so. It spins its notion of equality, and then attempts to apply it to a secular culture that has no foundation for any belief in human dignity.
The consequence is the loss of freedom and the establishment of an authoritarian civil religion. This book attempts to explain how all this has come about and what we should do about it.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness...”
