Books of the Cherokee

Cherokee Calling - Al Herrin If you're interested in Cherokee culture, Spiritual beliefs, Living closer to nature, and ghost stories, then you should have this book. "During many philosophical discussions with Al Herrin, I gained a new appreciation of traditional Native American worship. To me, my personal Christian God and the God of the ancient Cherokees are one and the same. His book is a pleasure to read. It is my sincere belief that all who read this book will develop a deeper understanding of the Cherokee Way and will, without a doubt, experience a lasting impact on their spiritual lives."

The hunters among us are challenged to "even the odds" between the hunter and the hunted and rediscover the "romance" of hunting as the early Indians hunted. Col.
