Acts 1:9-11 is considered as the irrefutable proof of a yet future coming of Jesus, in a human body of flesh. But, is that claim true? Is there another, proper understanding of the text? In this well documented, clearly written book, Dan Dery looks "below the surface" and digs deeper into the theological significance, the covenant context, of Jesus' Ascension. Focusing on the covenantal language and the sacerdotal nature of the Ascension. The reader will be amazed at how superficial the traditional interpretation of this amazing text truly is, and will see, perhaps for the first time, the true meaning of the marvelous Ascension of the Great High Priest into the Most Holy Place. A truly amazing book!

Walking in the Sacred Manner is an exploration of the myths and culture of the Plains Indians, for whom the everyday and the spiritual are intertwined, and women play a strong and important role in the spiritual and religious life of the community. Based on extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, Walking in the Sacred Manner is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women in the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine. Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, Mark St. Pierre and Tilda Long Soldier paint a rich and varied portrait of a society and its traditions. Stereotypical images of the Native American drop away as the voices, dreams, and experiences of these women (both healers and healed) present insight into a culture about which little is known. It is a journey into the past, an exploration of the present, and a view full of hope for the future.
