Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are thirteen indigenous grandmothers. . . . We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth, the atrocities of war, the global scourge of poverty, the prevailing culture of materialism, the epidemics that threaten the health of the Earth’s peoples, and with the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, believe that our ancestral ways of prayer, peacemaking, and healing are vitally needed today. . . . We believe that the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. In some Native American societies, tribal leaders consulted a council of grandmothers before making any major decisions that would affect the whole community. What if we consulted our wise women elders about the problems facing our global community today? This book presents the insights and guidance of thirteen indigenous grandmothers from five continents, many of whom are living legends among their own peoples. The Grandmothers offer wisdom on such timely issues as nurturing our families; cultivating physical and mental health; and confronting violence, war, and poverty. Also included are the reflections of Western women elders, including Alice Walker, Gloria Steinem, Helena Norberg-Hodge, and Carol Moseley Brown.

Book excerpt: In October 1998, the Concerned Christians mysteriously left Denver, Colorado in the middle of the night. Believing that America was Babylon and that Denver would soon be destroyed, the alleged "doomsday cult" left their comfortable lives, their loved ones, jobs, and homes, to meet the unreasonable demands of the cult leader. For a brief period of time, the highly publicized cult opened its invisible prison gates and permitted a few cult members to communicate with the secular world using email. Tormented by their absence, Betty J. R. Chavez struggled to convince her sister, Jan and Jan's millionaire husband John to return home and resume their rich life. Their email correspondence contained threats, accusations, persecutions, and finally a challenge. Betty acknowledged the aforementioned and accepted the challenge to analyze how Jan and John were tricked into joining the cult. She had to reach them before it was too late.
