Part Native American and part Scandinavian/Celtic mix, the world of the white man knows him as Charlie. His Native American name is Sanyasuk Andekshkwe in the Algonquin language of his ancestors (Potawatomi)... or Silver Crow, as his family and friends know him. Writer, artist and mystic, he has devoted the latter half of his life to a quest for spiritual truth. Now, having attained the age of Elder by the standards of the tribe, he shares his unique, gentle wisdom with all who seek him out.

You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>
My intention in writing the book was to incorporate my Native American heritage and interest in metaphysics into a theme that had the impact of the Celestine Prophecy and the global intrigue of the DaVinci Code, adding A Course in Miracles in the spin... In many ways I believe that all the characters exist, perhaps in some undiscovered parallel universe. As the storyline started to unfold I observed that my attention would be drawn to something that randomly occurred around me or in the news... and it was the exact bit of information/event/discovery that was needed for the next part of the plot, so a lot of the situations in the book are real events or things... both past and present. I was raised by my grandparents and my grandfather was a full blood Potawatomi who shared his spiritual and tribal heritage with me in an ongoing silent dialogue that remains central to my character today, 50 years and more later. A large part of the book is biographical and, on some occasions, somewhat intimate as to the revelation of what makes a "halfbreed" in the 21st Century tick. Ultimately, The Story is a vision of hope and what might be the salvation of the human experience on planet earth.
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#111111;font-size:13px;">“The Story: A Song by Silvercrow” is a mind-altering romp through the parallel worlds of Native American culture and the ancient Near East. Mystery, mysticism, travelogue, cookbook, quest, comedy, no one who enters this kaleidescopic kingdom will emerge the same.</span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="color:#111111;">T.
