I thoroughly enjoyed this book and admire it as well. The fictional Indian tribes have an authentic ring in two different ways: First, their cultures' practices and values make sense and hang together just as those of real cultures do, and I speak as an MA in Intercultural Relations and former college instructor in this field. Even better, at least one of the tribes holds and communicates the life-affirming, respectful, earth-centered values that make the traditional Native American worldview so beautiful and admirable. The characters are good, the story is interesting and sweeps the reader along, and the hero (who is something of a blockhead at times) is well worth rooting for as we follow his journey toward awakening. The mystical experiences feel authentic as well. This interesting and easy-flowing work of fiction reflects the real experiences and visions common to spiritual seekers across world religions. In short, it's my very favorite kind of book: It entertains, instructs and uplifts you all at once. Good work, Mr. Barnes!

Wow...This was one of the greatest reads I've had in years and I read a lot of books, love to read. Bill has hit it out of the park with this wonderful spiritual fantasy. Bill weaves the emotional ups and downs of Running Brook and pulled me into the adventure within a few pages, I didn't want the adventure to end. The book is filled with life lessons that I find can be applied to everyday life. Bills dynamic writing left it open for a sequel. I am waiting for the next book in the adventure of Running Brook
