If there is a positive metaphor to use today, this is IT!
In this slim but powerful book, Jean captures one of the mightiest metaphors from North American history to help us figure out how to create a new vision for our nation and the world as we dash for the year 2000. If nothing else, it will assist you in reframing the existing whitewater world about us into one with hopeful patterns of peace and prosperity. Ned Hamson

When the student is ready, a teacher will appear.
This book is a primer on how to grow spiritually, physically and mentally based upon the teachings of a great Native American who was in touch with the Creator. It includes common themes held in all religions, for all who seek a spiritual path toward personal renewal and God-consciousness. It requires the reader to do the work, acting only as a guide. It has much in common with the 12-step programs of today.
