  ""Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning, Earth Keeper is an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose."" — Esquire 
  A magnificent testament to the earth, from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday. 
  One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply. 
  In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. “When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors,"" he writes, ""I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”   
  In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it’s too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.

  New Life in Christ is a multi-volume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theological subjects and for instruction in Christian living. -- Dr Jack Carter, General Editor, The Journal of Biblical Theology. 
  Dr. Strem has been a mentor and disciple-maker for me and my family for twenty years. Faithfully teaching God’s Word so that both the layman and the scholar are able to understand, Dr. Strem has also remained a friend in the work of the ministry, benefiting the church and the community with love and hard work. I highly recommend these years of teaching in this written word to those who want to grow well in Christ. -- Donna Arthur - Editor and Teacher -- Trinity EFC 
  Dave Strem has been a faithful, loyal preacher of Jesus for decades! In this book you'll see the heart of a man that uses God's word mixed with his own creativity, stories, and a unique passion for life to help you fall more in love with Jesus! -- Zach Zehnder -- Lead Pastor -- theCross.family
