Muddy Waters: An Insider’s View of North American Native Spirituality
Just out!
Nanci Des Gerlaise’s new book, Muddy Waters: An Insider’s View of North American Native Spirituality, testifies how the Lord Jesus Christ rescued her from the bondage and despair of a life of Native spirituality and gave her truth, peace, and joy.
The book also clearly sets forth the absolute contrast between Native American Spirituality and the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Born into a Canadian Métis family of medicine men, Nanci suffered intense spiritual struggles for many years. Then, as she emerged from the darkness of paganism into Christ’s glorious light, she knew she had to share what she had learned. This book is the result.
Native spirituality is spreading like wildfire as part of the larger spread of paganism, and influencing many Christians as well. This well-researched book combines Nanci’s story with a solid Biblical analysis of our culture and numerous practices popular in Native spirituality.
An excellent resource for parents, educators, and pastors.
Note: Nanci is available for interviews. Visit her Weblog for details.
I would like to thank Linda Nathan, President of Logos Word Designs, Inc., for her encouragement, mentoring and unrelenting assistance, which made this book become a reality. Her expertise in editing and rewriting, researching, publishing consultation, and oversight of the self-publishing process was a godsend for this first-time writer. I cannot stress enough my deep gratitude for her and her professional work and conduct. God bless you, Linda.

A Splendored Thing integrates inspirational elements with tough issues that real women face, both personally and socially. Not a romance novel, it yet weaves romance, suspense, and the struggle with suffering into its structure as a thriller.
In other words: Real women, real issues and no simple answers.
"When Austin Boyd recommended me to Linda Nathan of Logos Word Designs, he did me a remarkable favor. Not only is Linda a great editor, but she is also a dedicated Christian who walks daily with Christ. Although I had published many articles and stories and have taught college non-fiction writing, Linda has been an invaluable wordsmith and an encouraging guide on the complexities of writing fiction. Each of her clients receives one-on-one guidance on structure, plot, characterization and other fiction elements. Another of Linda's strong points is that she stays in constant communication with her writer. This prevents unnecessary anxiety on the part of the writer and provides a much-needed sense of security that the work has relevance. Logos's rates are reasonable, and Linda keeps excellent records of her time and work.
"I believe Linda Nathan is one of the outstanding editors of Christian writing in the publishing world today. If there are other books for me, Linda would again be my editor of choice."
Linda loves writing and editing both fiction and nonfiction and brings over 30 years of professional experience in a wide variety of fields to her craft. Working with Christian authors to proclaim the love and truth of Jesus Christ is her main focus.
