Chief Ring of Fire must find a way to get his people back from the horrible, degrading life on the Crow Indian Reservation in Billings, Montana. He takes three other families, besides his wife, Angel Wing, and one-moon-old son, Shadow Fox, visiting a neighboring tribe, only to discover his friends were burned alive at the outdoor fire pit! They arrive home to discover worse news: his people are at the horrible, degrading reservation at Billings, Montana! Angel Wing has the gift of the inner eye. With her visions, she counsels her chieftain husband to flee to an unknown mountain range. Her visions lead them into battles, save the warriors from certain death, and find unlikable help to get their people back together as a whole tribe. The only issue is, other than the chief, no one else knows it is her visions that guide them! Through many trials and tribulations, good and bad times, the people must fight to keep their freedom, even if it means requiring the help from an unlikely source and forming their own reservation! From choosing either annihilation or reservation life with a friend, it becomes very clear to Angel Wings eye what paths to take. Is freedom ever truly free?
What if God’s love were like the sun, constant and unchanging? What if one day you realized nothing could take that away? Firebird is a bright orange baby oriole who just loves the sunshine. But whenever a storm blows in, he frets and asks Mama why God allows the rain to take the sun away. When Firebird is finally old enough, his mother gently instructs him to fly up through the thunder and lightning to see what’s on the other side. It’s a rough flight, and just when he’s about to give up, Firebird rises above the storm to discover the sun shining where it always had been. God never lets the storm take the sun away. With that truth in his heart, Firebird continues to bask in the sunshine, but just as important, he learns to rejoice in the rain. Firebird is a children’s book that parallels the life of Samantha Crawford, a storybook artist in the inspiring new film Unconditional (scheduled for a theatrical launch in fall 2012) who has lost sight of God’s love.
