This stirring sequel reunites the seeker and his teacher in a book reminiscent of both Richard Bach's Illusions and the magic realism of Carlos Castaneda. Among Screaming Hawk's new discoveries are the quirky sense of humor shared by his mentor and the Spirit, and the consequent need to "laugh with God" to achieve a deeper understanding. For reader and protagonist alike, the book is a unique journey into the ways of the spirit, the true nature of reality, and the paths to continued spiritual growth. |

| Publisher Description: In this sequel to Screaming Hawk, Flying Eagle, the gruff and prankish medicine man, conducts his Christian student, Screaming Hawk, along the "Principle Paths of Divine Circumstance: The Paths of the Greatest Good, the Inner Journey, Silence, Humor, Illumination, and Indifference." Together they discover the need to laugh at themselves as Flying Eagle turns out to be a rather fallible mentor who must learn lessons as poignant and incisive as the lessons that he teaches. |
