With the help of a gifted medicine woman, she learns what the future holds for herself and for humankind.

Now discover and experience all of these things as you read this book. The excitement of grandfather's dream that had the whole village asking "What can it mean?" and the amazement when Aunt Elsa shares the answers right from her Bible.--Mary Ratcliff, Cross Reflections Ministry There's nothing more inspirational than real life experiences. Lessons learned from the experiences of others are the most meaningful because they are so effective in helping us where we are actually at today. We Native people are visual - meaning we trust most in what we can actually see and touch. This is why this small book by Doris Smith is so powerful -- especially to some of us who have actually lived or visited in the villages and know the people Doris writes about. It's all real, it's all so true. Coupled with the fact that the teachings this true story experience brings out are so accurate makes this book very worthwhile reading. If you're looking for helpful information presented in an interesting way on subjects that will bring answers to many of life's spiritual questions that most people are asking today you will find this book a real blessing to your heart.--Monte Church, Native Ministries Northwest/Canada Director

Elaine Sturtz shares in Living in the Different that grief is messy, hard, painful, filled with tears and loneliness, but it also includes faith, hope and love. She walks through the journey, the emotions, the changes and hurts. Each grief is different, and grief changes our lives. We are different, and how we live and interact with others is different. The journey of grief takes different forms as we learn to live and mingle joy and sorrow together. Elaine offers hope-a hope of hope-through these passages of sorrow and loss. Hope is found in our faith in God who is love, and love never ends. As you read these words, may God bring comfort and guidance and give you hope.
