Details: The book is a short description of legends of Maniilaq -- an Eskimo prophet of the 19th century. I found it beautiful. God speaks to all people and his message is the same everywhere. Highly recommended.

It is an easy read told through the words of the elders. It is a very wonderful book and is a reminder of how we are all God's children. I highly recommend it!!!

Details: Further evidence that God speaks to man and would free us from superstition and fear, this is a story for adult and child in every nation and culture. Its narrative allows the reader to sit with Inupiaq Elders and experience the oral tradition of American native culture. I'm currently reading it to my six-year-old, a real critic.
