• Kathryn Westover. "Praying for New Orleans," Tate Publishing, (2007). Her website explains:

  Praying For New Orleans deals with the question of whether prayer is destined to be a destructive force in our world, fueling sectarian violence and strife, or whether the world can discover the way to pray with one voice, not only for the victims of natural disasters, but also for peace. In other words, is prayer the only way to save our world?

  The answer requires us to consider prayer in a completely ecumenical way. Praying For New Orleans therefore explains the process of "structured prayer," which can be practiced by people of all faiths, or those with no religious affiliation. The structure of prayer is illustrated through the stories of families impacted by the hurricane of 2005 that caused the flooding of New Orleans. In some respects this book is a parable that illustrates the difficult reality of praying "Thy Will Be Done."

  A description of the book can be seen at: http://www.tatepublishing.com/ On 2007-APR-16, the book was listed for $12.99 plus $2.75 shipping and handling.
   

Authors and teachers Robin Tekwelus Youngblood and Sandra D'Entremont have written "Path of the White Wolf, An Introduction to Shamanism."

Robin writes:

"Over the years, Sandy and I have found that we can use the paradigm of the Medicine Wheel as a valuable tool for transformation in any situation. As we started teaching together, we saw the need to write a workbook study guide that would help students understand all the aspects of the Medicine Wheel and the way ways that these teachings could apply in their lives. It is our hope to share what we have been taught through the 'Path of the White Wolf, An Introduction to Shamanism'."
