Just in case you thought that it was only Pagans who got sensationalist Christian books written about them, fear not! Spero News wants you to know that the Christian publishing industry are very worried about the Native Americans who still hold onto pre-Christian beliefs as well.

Dreamcatchers, sweat lodges, ancestral spirits, alcoholism, and abuse: author Nanci Des Gerlaise grew up with them all. Her new book, “Muddy Waters: An Insider’s View of North American Native Spirituality,” which according to a news release exposes the current awakening and popularity of occult concepts borrowed from her Native roots. “The focal point of my book is an appeal to the Christian audience to turn away from Native Spirituality and its demonic influences; I also want to equip them with the knowledge of how to deal with those in bondage to Native Spirituality.”

One wonders what the extended Métis community in Canada (to which she claims membership, and that she is descended from a “long line of medicine men”), not to mention members of the First Nations and Inuit think of her proclaiming Native spirituality and religion as “demonic”. Of course she doesn’t stop there, you see Nanci Des Gerlaise is that special kind of Christian who also thinks Catholics are demonic too.

Born into a Canadian Métis family, Nanci Des Gerlaise struggled through years of dysfunctional relationships before discovering the freedom of the pure Gospel, unadulterated by mixtures of spirituality, animism or Roman Catholicism.

Many Christians tend to shy away from damning Native Americans, it’s bad for publicity and makes them look like “haters”. But make no mistake, the Christians who spout off about Pagans feel exactly the same about indigenous belief systems, they just know to be more polite about it. So in a way we should all thank Ms. Des Gerlaise for reminding the public exactly what those certain Christians really think of the “Great Spirit”.
