captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in

passages to get a taste of what you'll find inside:&quotThe Great
Spirit loves this world of human beings so deeply he gave us his
Son&#8213the only Son who fully represents him. All who trust in
him and his way will not come to a bad end, but will have the life of
the world to come that never fades&#8213full of beauty and
harmony. Creator did not send his Son to decide against the people
of this world, but to set them free from the worthless ways of the
world.&quot John 3:16-17&quotLove is patient and kind. Love is
never jealous. It does not brag or boast. It is not puffed up or bigheaded.
Love does not act in shameful ways, nor does it care only
about itself. It is not hot-headed, nor does it keep track of wrongs
done to it. Love is not happy with lies and injustice, but truth makes
its heart glad. Love keeps walking even when carrying a heavy load.
Love keeps trusting, never loses hope, and stands firm in hard
times. The road of love has no end.&quot 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
