Praise for Circle of Life

“The spiritual journey of James David Audlin as reflected in his book is a remarkable narrative unique in the annals of Native literature. His words must be heeded by anyone seeking to understand the spiritual essence of what it means to be truly Native.” (Doug George-Kanentiio, Akwesasne Mohawk Nation, author of Iroquois Culture & Commentary)

“A treasury of traditional teachings, this book is a must read for all who want to know the Native ways of worship and honor.” (Grandfather Sings-Alone, Cherokee Nation, author of Sprinting Backwards to God)

“James David Audlin’s book Circle of Life offers the reader a glimpse into Native American traditional teachings that will help to eliminate preconceived notions and lead one to a deeper understanding of what it means to live in harmony with all of life. A bonus to reading this book is that your life will change. (The Rev. Nickolas M. Miles, Powhatan Nation)  

“James David Audlin draws from his own experiences with Indian spirituality and blends them with the traditional Indian spirituality that is becoming more important in America with each passing decade. In blending his points of view with those of the indigenous people, he has created a mixture of Western values and Indian values. Some readers may think that the subject matter touches on traditional values some Indians would rather not reveal, and others will embrace his thoughts and his vibrant storytelling about something that has long been on the backburner of history. Audlin is not bashful in presenting an entirely new conception of Indian spirituality and values.” (Tim Giago, Oglala Lakota Nation, Nationally Syndicated Columnist with Knight Ridder Tribune News Service and President of the Native American Journalists Foundation, Inc.)
