An unseen Watcher lives in the land of the Kepke. He resides in the inner forest -- the Forest of Thought and Creation. He was sent by the Great Everywhere Father to observe and judge the Kepke people. Every Kepke man is warned not to venture too far away from the outer forest, for he might come upon the Watcher and die a terrible fearful death. Yet someday there will be a Kepke man who will possess great medicine. He will venture into the inner forest. The Watcher will seek him out and the lives of the Kepke will be changed forever. But the legends never say exactly HOW this will happen, or what the change will be. To find the answer, Running Brook must leave the land of the Kepke on a quest that will take him into the mystical Forest and deep within himself. (A spiritual fantasy tale by William C. Barnes with Yonassan Gershom.)

Karima V. Bushnell Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2015 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! Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2015 By Dr Ron De Vasto Wow...This was one of the greatest reads I've had in years and I read a lot of books, love to read.

"Wise old Vergil says in one of his Georgics, 'Praise large farms, stick to small ones,'" Robert Frost said. "Twenty acres are just about enough." Frost started out as a school teacher living the rural life of a would-be farmer, and later turned to farming full time when he bought a place of his own. After a sojourn in England where his first two books were published to critical acclaim, he returned to New England, acquired a new farm and became a rustic for much of the rest of his life. Frost claimed that all of his poetry was farm poetry. His deep admiration for Virgil's Georgics, or poems of rural life, inspired the creation of his own New England "georgics," his answer to the haughty 20th-century modernism that seemed certain to define the future of Western poetry. Like the "West-Running Brook" in his poem of the same name, Frost's poetry can be seen as an embodiment of contrariness.

The Indian Battle at Claremore Mound near Claremore, Oklahoma, occurred in 1817 between the Osage and Cherokee Indian tribes. The Osage were attacked by the Cherokee and the ensuing battle was devastating to the Osage Indians. In this exciting and informative tale, Running Brook, a young Indian maiden, tells the story of her great-great-great-grandfather, who survived the attack. The story was written with middle school children in mind; however, I believe that anyone might enjoy the story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

Prose from many shores knocks on the door of the reality of our daily lives in stanzas that give the reader a broader spectrum of the spiritual world in psalms and songs. The author authentically decrees that most of the contents within these pages came in the form of an otherworldly muse most definitely from the light. From broken hearts that never heal, to war that leaves scars unseen, to history long forgotten, to a World War II marine who encountered a talking dog that saved his life--all these are compiled within these pages, speaking to our world today. Far from being a self-help book, it speaks to the child within us all, to the adolescent we used to be, and the adult and seniors we will all become. Here, in this unique collection, you will be much devoted to the Divine and psalms that came about during early morning prayers or, as the title, Prose from many shores. In this lyrical expression of love, loss, war, and early morning visits by the muse (Prose from many shores), it is this writer's fervent hope and prayer that reading these words will inspire and encourage the readers to be aware that it is never too late to pursue your dreams in whatever category you have chosen. I love being a writer of Christian psalms and praise poetry that inspire and all-around history much from the greatest generation (World War II). As much as having written concerning Christian genres and motivational words of inspiration that have, in some ways, lifted the spirits of our cohort, every writer wants to make a difference with her/his contribution. Today I have become a firm believer in the presence of God and Jesus Christ working in my life. It's my experience that prayer and meditation daily can not only change our lives and lead us to a more fulfilling existence but also change our world for the better. It has been said and documented in millions of testimonies that belief in God is one of the most formidable tools of reliability one may have. Within these pages, the reader will find story poems and short stories that will hopefully inspire them to move in the direction of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. Hopefully, that may include the arts, creativity, performing arts, and writing. God stands as the master creator of all that is or ever will be (you and me not excluded). What then is more devoted to his likeness and image than to recreate on our own level? It is my fervent hope that reading Prose from many shores may inspire you to build and expand your own relationship with God through prayer and praise. In the ever-holy name of Jesus Christ, I leave my blessing on this work and all who read it. God be with you, and perhaps we will be destined to meet in person along life's path. "For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them" (Saint Augustine of Hippo).

Every year, right before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, there is a cultural war in certain Jewish neighborhoods over a ceremony called Kapporos, in which a chicken is slaughtered just before the holy day. The animal rights people show up claiming, "Meat is murder!" while the Orthodox and Hasidic Jews who practice this ceremony accuse the activists of antisemitism and violating their freedom of religion. Epithets fly and confrontations occur across the barricades, but nobody is really listening to each other. Rabbi Gershom seeks to build a bridge of understanding between these two warring camps. On the one hand, he opposes using live chickens as Kapporos, and, like many other religious Jews before him, advocates giving money to charity instead. But on the other hand, he is himself a Hasid who understands and believes in the kabbalistic principle of ""raising holy sparks"" so central to the ceremony. In fact, he says, it is that very mysticism that has led him not to use chickens for the ritual.
