Reviews

"Rarely does a field-builder allow us the opportunity to journey into the life-long journey leading to the formation of the work. With bold transparency, Miller shares his enormously rich professional and personal journey of seven decades with an open hand. He shows us the terrane of his inner and outer life.""""- Lisa Miller, Author, The Spiritual Child, Teachers College, Columbia University; """"Whether in the classroom, writing books, keynoting, or being a friend, Jack Miller's life journey exemplifies his multi-dimensional embracing of ""the way of nature"" and accepting of the mysterious. Always acknowledging the Indigenous roots of holistic education, he managed to bring parts of the Indigenous worldview into schools in ways that accommodated all cultures. This book gives testimony to his great contribution to understanding why we must return to our interconnected way of being.""""- Four Arrows, Author, Sitting Bull's Words for a World in Crises"
