A general introduction to the social and legal issues involved in
acts of violence against Native women, this book's contributors are
lawyers, social workers, social scientists, writers, poets, and
victims. In the U.S. Native women are more likely than women from
any other group to suffer violence, from rape and battery to more
subtle forms of abuse, and Sharing Our Stories of Survival explores
the causes and consequences of such behavior. The stories and
case-studies presented here are often painful and raw, and the
statistics are overwhelmingly grim; but a countervailing theme also
runs through this extremely informative volume: Many of the women
who appear in these pages are survivors, often strengthened by
their travails, and the violence examined here is human violence,
meaning that it can be changed, if only with much effort and
education. The first step is to lay out the truth for all to see,
and that is the purpose accomplished by this book.

"Whisperings" describes how the stories in the Old Testament give
us vivid pictures of Jesus in various ways. The author believes
Jesus is the center of the Bible and every story in the Bible
revolves around the story of Jesus. The stories of Adam and Eve,
Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph...David are like the planets in
the solar system and Jesus' story is the center. Planets do not
have their own lights. They are shining in the dark night because
they are reflecting the sun's light. Like this, other stories in
the Bible can be properly interpreted through the light of Jesus'
story, and also other stories are access points to Jesus' story,
which is huge and great, beyond human comprehension.
