5.0 out of 5 stars Indian Wisdom and Its Guiding Power by Brad & Sherry Steiger, September 29, 2003

This review is from: Indian Wisdom and Its Guiding Power (Paperback)

Excellent Read on Indian Medicine!


This book is a real eye opener, and I loved it. It gave me a lot of insight into some of the mysteries of Indian lore and medicine that I have wanted to investigate myself.. As a native/indigenous person, I learned a lot about my people. I hope that others will read this book and know that there is much more to the Indian culture than what they see on TV.

Steiger is an extremely talented--his writing isn't loaded with confusing metaphors and symbols--it's pure and beautiful, and, I must add, it's a breath of fresh air. His unique strength is his ability to say so much in a laymen's narrative style. This is truly fair and balanced and highly entertaining. This book is filled with extremely interesting facts and I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Continuation of Mr. Steiger's earlier work "Medicine Power", November 8, 2001

This review is from: Indian Wisdom and Its Guiding Power (Paperback)

This is a continuation of Mr. Steiger's earlier work "Medicine Power".

In this volume Mr. & Mrs. Steiger talk with medicine people as in Rolling Thunder, Grandfather David, Twyla Nitsch , Dallas Chief Eagle, Kuichy (apprentice to an Incan Shaman), Sun Bear, and others.

What is different about this book is that this book has meditations to help you contact your spirit helpers, to help your body heal itself, transmute negative emotions and thought patterns into positive ones, etc.

In my opinion; I would suggest for you to skip over this book and pick up Mr. Steiger's later volume "Totems: The Transformative Power Of Your Personal Animal Totem".

I encourage questions and comments via E-mail about my reviews; Two Bears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional read and wonderful reference book! 6 Stars!, September 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Indian Wisdom and Its Guiding Power (Paperback)

Steiger's Indian Wisdom is the only one of its kind.
As a writer and researcher, I can honestly say that this compendium on Indian Wisdom is an exceptional read and wonderful reference book.

I am somewhat perplexed that some reviewers use the review section as a forum for their personal beliefs and immature rants instead of actually reviewing the content.

For example, reviewer Arline Itsehili does not write a review but a series of slanderous insults. First of all, there is no such book by Elizabeth Cook Lynn, "Why I Can't Read Brad Steiger." So we must ask why would Ms. Itsehili say there was?
To say that the book written by Steiger and his wife [whose grandmother was full Chippewa, by the way and should give her a certain right to have a life-long interest in Native American Wisdom Ways] is "so much advertising for con artists" is slanderous to the devoted Medicine practitioners who were interviewed for the book.

To make such judgmental statements in regard to matters of spiritual practice falls squarely into bigotry. The beauty of Native American Medicine ways lies foremost in its individuality of expression. There are no Popes or Bishops or any kind of spiritual heirarchy, so Ms. Itsehili and Ms. Lynn cannot quality for the position of offering the final word about who qualifies to benefit from the Wisdom teachings of the Native American Shamans nor may they dictate who should practice its ways.

This book is well worth purchasing and Steiger's research is characteristic of his journalistic integrity. There is a good reason that his works, some 150 books, have been quoted in hundreds of scholarly reference books and dozens of recent documentaries. It's simply that he does his homework and delivers the untainted truth.
