Art for the Soul,
By Jeff May (jmay@grundy.k12.il.us) (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Dancing: Sacred Medicine and the Art of JD Challenger (Hardcover)
JD challengers work was the first original art that I have purchased. When I saw his work in a gallery in Santa Fe, I was mesmorized by the character of his subjects. Ghost Dancing provides a good overview of many of his prints that are available.

Ghost Dancing Sacred Medicine and the Art of JD Challenger,
By Kurt M. Jensen (Vista, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Dancing: Sacred Medicine and the Art of JD Challenger (Hardcover)
Descriptive words of Ghost Dancing, joined with the timeless wisdom contained in the words of Native America. Couple this with the paintings of JD Challenger and you have an opportunity to not read about but really feel. This is not a book just narrating the past but speaks volumes to the future. This book called to me from the library shelf and I have ordered to place in a prominent place on my shelf. This is a book to share with others and come back to often.

Beautiful Visual Experience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghost Dancing: Sacred Medicine and the Art of JD Challenger (Hardcover)
The text of this book is extremely informative on the Ghost Dance Religion of Native Americans. It covers the origins of the religion, its climax and the results thereof. Adding to this educational context is the Beautifully compelling work of artist JD Challenger. His riviting paintings jump from the pages virtually reaching out from the book and pulling you in. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Native Americans and most assuredly to anyone who loves art that emits emtional impact. I constantly go back to this book as a source of inspiration and to gain understanding of Native American's plight.
