5.0 out of 5 stars Fools Crow: Wisdom & Power, January 28, 2000
This review is from: Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power (Paperback)
An amazing book, by one of the most renowned Holy Men in the Native American Community. "Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power" is bursting with knowledge and love. He depicts techniques on how to become a living chanel for Great Spirit's Healing Energy, you will learn how to become a "Hollow Bone" as he calls it. But you must realize that this is by no means a how to book. He describes his experiences in a way that they are filled with teachings of how to attain power and wisdom, and the right way to use both. All and all, this is one of my favorite books out-right! I hope that you have the privilage of reading this incredible book, it will inevitably change your life and how you live it forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that opens a door, July 21, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power (Paperback)
The legacy of Fools Crow is his wisdom & power as a Lakota medecine man. The path he walked, as a man called to serve his people & the Great Spirit, is recalled in this book. His simple message is that all of us can be "hollow bones" for the Great Spirit to work through. The reader learns that the power & wisdom of Frank Fools Crow's life was in his detachment from ego and submission to a higher force. Some readers may only be interested in the ceremonies & rituals described in the book. However, the message is the spirit of the man & his committment to his God & to his people. I can not imagine that any reader can walk away from this book untouched.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable - simply a must read!, February 20, 2001
By ROBERT KINGSLEY (Fort Collins, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power (Paperback)
This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read! If you want a book that will draw you closer to God, regardless of your religion or beliefs, this is the book. Frank Fools Crow will teach you by his example what a holy life truly is and the power that will naturally flow from living this type of life.

The beauty of the traditional way of the Sioux is also captured in this book. Yet Fools Crow reaches to the heart of all people with the love he freely gives. Fools Crow's many gifts are laid out here - his healing ability, his compassion. It is made clear these are gift's that come from God, not man, and as are to be shared with all.
