This novel is the second book in the Screaming Hawk series which deals with a man's spiritual training under a Native American medicine man. The main character, a white man who is later renamed Screaming Hawk, asks Flying Eagle to teach him about native spirituality because he has found little meaning in his own white man's religion. During the course of his second summer of training he continues to learn more about the ways of the Spirit, including the Mystic Paths of spiritual growth. He also continues to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of his own religious background, and discovers that there are far more mysterious truths embedded in Christianity than he ever imagined. This is a book for those who seek to deepen their understanding of the ways of the Spirit and, like Screaming Hawk, are seeking to grow spiritually. The reader will learn many sacred truths in the process and discover that the two religions have much in common.
