Book Description
Parker Shaw, a political philosophy major at the University of Virginia, tries to figure out what to do with his life. His father wants him to study law. Parker has a strange dream which sends him on a seeker's path. Curiosity takes him and his buddy, Sam, on a road trip to the American Southwest, where he meets an eerily familiar Indian man. When he returns to school to complete his final year, is it fate or a strange confluence of events that finds him near the Pentagon on September 11, 2001? This is the first novel in a four-part series, which is a thought-provoking and at times satirical inquiry into the roots of modern American identity and the ageless tension between rationality and spirituality.

Every Warrior Has His Own Song

Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
When the worthless treaties were signed and it was time to move the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago nation, the people took only what they could carry on their backs. There isnt a person alive today who can describe the atrocities, hardships, and deprivation their ancestors faced while being moved from their land to a strange place, unable to travel or live where their ancestors were buried. No longer could they provide food and lodging for their families; they had to depend on the government for monthly rations of food, blankets, and medical attention. Every Warrior Has His Own Song explores the history and culture of the Winnebago and Ho-Chunk peoples, as well as the personal history of the family of author Alan B. Walker. Patriotic and fiercely loyal to this country and the land of their ancestors, they show respect to the returning veterans of any war. As Walker grew older, he knew that he wanted to be a warrior and wondered if he had the right stuff; in the course of his exploration of his peoples culture, he also tells the story of his service in Vietnam. Every Warrior Has His Own Song touches on the history and modern life of the Ho- Chunk/Winnebago nation as well as the story of the Hatchett family, telling a timeless and relevant tale of bravery. It is an amazing read. I had a hard time putting it down. I believe this book should be a part of every high schools history teachings. It angered me to see what the U.S. Government has done over and over to these Native American Indians. Why have a treaty if you're not going to stand behind it? I was also amazed by the courage of this writer. His service to this country, like his Grandfathers is one of pride and courage. I'm amazed and glad that Alan B. Walker lived through the Vietnam war so that his story and that of his people could be told. -Aron

A Warrior's Quest

ISBN: 0359714110
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The idea of a warrior who shouts his warfare is unusual, but the idea of warriors shouting for victory has a sound basis in God's Word. Shouting for victory is a powerful weapon in fighting the good fight of faith. This book will probably not resonate with you if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. But I firmly believe that if you'll read it anyway and relax your tendency toward unbelief, you will find the Savior that your heart craves; for He is here and ready to receive you.
