Rescuing the Gospel from the Cowboys: A Native American Expression of the Jesus Way by Richard Twiss
272 pages.
Richard Twiss reviews the grim story of Christian missions among Native Americans in United States missions as an attempt at cultural annihilation which was accompanied by national genocide, segregated resettlement and apartheid. The story includes the author's own stories along with his desire to claim his Native cultural and ritual roots but also to synchronize First Nation ways with a Jesus who honors rather than destroys his people's life-giving traditions.
