NATIVE SPIRITUALITY
MUDDY WATERS
An Insider’s View of
North American Native Spirituality
BY NANCI DES GERLAISE
MANY Christians see no problem combining the beliefs
and practices of Native American Spirituality with their
view of Christianity. But Nanci Des Gerlaise knows
differently. Raised on a Metis settlement with fifteen
brothers and sisters, Nanci’s childhood and young adult
life was riddled with terrors that come with being the
daughter and granddaughter of medicine men. Muddy
Waters is the biography of this Cree Native American woman from Canada, who
after years of struggle, oppression, and spiritual darkness found light and truth in
the One who offered her freedom.
Muddy Waters is not just a biography. It also delves deeply into the framework of
Native Spirituality and warns that in incorporating its practices into Christianity,
the Gospel, which is “the power of God unto salvation” (Romans 1:16), is being
pushed aside, leaving countless numbers of people without the sure hope that
only comes through knowing Jesus Christ. This book addresses several relevant
topics including: dreamcatchers, shamans, sweat lodges, the role of Roman
Catholicism, a chart on the biblical view versus the Native Spirituality view,
animism, feminism, ancestral spirits, medicine wheels, and biblical suggestions
on how to escape the snare of occultism. [MW] Illustrated | 232 pages | $14.95
