A contemporary novel about a baby boy abandoned near the Miccosukee Reservation in the Florida Everglades west of Miami. The surrounding community of Native American neighbors adopt and raise the young "John Doe" as their own, and when they realize that John has the ability to come and go with such stealth that his communal family members seldom notice, he is given the surname "Ghostwalker." John Ghostwalker is a kind-hearted and precocious young man, a superior student, and a socially peculiar human being. He has an almost obsessive need for a secret sanctuary where he can find respite from a world he sometimes finds quite overwhelming as he follows his dream to become an accomplished architect. The Ghostwalker File is, first and foremost, a book about self-discovery and the importance of community, but it is also a love story that may restore your belief in soul-mates.
The Big God Theory is the story of one American Christian's journey to joy and peace of mind. For over 40 years, the author struggled with disgruntlement and confusion in a conservative Christian church that often said one thing while doing something altogether different. This forth generation member of a historically significant Protestant denomination was falsely accused, shunned, castigated, and ultimately shown the door by spiritual leaders he had loved and trusted. It was only then, when he and his daughter had been cast adrift, that this quadriplegic single dad found what more and more American Christians are discovering every day: God is bigger!
This first collection of Grandfather and Grandmother Bear stories is my attempt to honor and emulate one of the finest and oldest storytelling traditions in the history of North America. Native American "animal stories" and "lodge fire stories" are truly the best kept secret in American literature. Imagine yourself as a Native American child at the turn of the century as Chief War Eagle invited you and the other children of his tribe into his lodge for a bedtime story. Sitting around the fire, listening with rapt attention, the smoky firelight flickering delightedly as if it were listening too, you would hear stories passed down through the generations, told by the most important person in your village. You would learn about Wolf and Beaver, and how Buzzard got his bumpy red head. You would hear about creation and how the human people were given fire thanks to the cleverness of Grandmother Spider and the practical good sense of Father Bear. Yes, stories of the "animal people" would be your primer about how to grow into a worthy human being, but not without the perennial high jinks of "tricksters" like Rabbit and Coyote! The animal people would teach you honesty, generosity, good manners, respect for your elders, and best of all, a host of great examples of problem solving and "thinking outside the box."
