"Readers will appreciate Charleston's pride in Native traditions and his optimism that humanity can heal the scars of the past and rebuild what has been broken." -- Publishers Weekly "Here is wisdom born out of a lifetime of listening faithfully to the voice of God. Here is wisdom we need for the living of these days." --Rev. Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church and author of The Power of Love "This book touched me as few do, which I take as proof that the author is in cahoots with the Spirit. Charleston is a spiritual medic who has given himself to a life of healing, and you will want to share his medicine with everyone you know." --Barbara Brown Taylor, author of Learning to Walk in the Dark and other books " Ladder to the Light isn't a book to be read once and put aside, but one that should be read again and again, becoming part of our human journey.

I highly recommend this book for all who are searching for a better way of belonging." --Kaitlin B. Curtice, author of Native and Glory Happening "What an anchoring book--the wisdom in it is distilled through many traditions, and is available to us all!" --Bill McKibben, environmental activist and author of Falter and other books "Defying conventional notions of religion, Steven Charleston places our feet on a trail of faith, blessing and hope leading us to truth and transformation. Through Native traditions and culture, we see a new vision of today's society--a tribal community of human beings moving toward justice as we search for the sacred." --Thom White Wolf Fassett (Seneca), author of Giving Our Hearts Away: Native American Survival.
