Reviewer Comments on
Steven McFadden’s other books

Midwest Book Reviews on Tales of the Whirling Rainbow: “Editor’s Choice. Absorbing, engaging, thoughtful, thought-provoking, exceptionally well written…Tales of the Whirling Rainbow is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as community and academic library collections.”

Library Journal on Profiles in Wisdom: Native Elders Speak About the Earth – “This wise and provocative collection is highly recommended.”

The New York Times Book Review: “Profiles in Wisdom does a fine job not only of presenting the dignity, complexity, and wit of important Indian philosophers and religious leaders, but also of issuing cautions against easy uplift and wisdom injections…There are some stirring and unexpected powers unleashed in this book.”

Resurgence Magazine on Farms of Tomorrow: “It is rare to come across any practical farming guide that sets out, from its inception, a set of principles that embrace social, spiritual and economic concerns on completely equal terms…The wisdom and clarity of philosophy are striking throughout.”

Jules Dervaes, Homegrown Revolution: “In this updated edition, Steven McFadden continues his significant work of identifying various agrarian projects where the vital link to nature is being restored. The Call of the Land serves as a valuable resource at a crucial, make-or-break juncture because there is just no ignoring Earth’s distress signals. “ –

The Washington Times on Profiles in Wisdom: “Our leaders should sit and listen to the counsel Steven McFadden has gathered in this book.”

Yoga Journal: ”If you haven’t yet encountered the richness and diversity of the Native American wisdom traditions, read this book — it will open your eyes, and your heart as well…How desperately we need these teachings now.”

Whole Earth Review on Farms of Tomorrow: “This is the best book to access the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement. Philosophical, spiritual, practical essays and how-to (including financial discussions). This is the source for tools, organizations, farms, and networks concerning the renewal of agriculture.”

Odyssey Magazine on Legend of the Rainbow Warriors: “I urge everyone on the spiritual path to read this small yet exceptionally powerful book.”

Headline Muse: “In the wake of the September 11 tragedies, The Legend of the Rainbow Warriors is of added import. Clearly, human existence is experiencing profound shifts of consciousness. As one struggles to make sense of these recent events … McFadden offers substantive insight and hope. Further, he speaks to the power of individuals to address the overwhelming and complex problems facing us today—locally as well as globally.”
