The Beauty Path: A Native American Journey Into One Love

REVIEWS FROM CRITICS "Riveting... An incredible adventure that reveals the true essence of Rasta!" Dr. Dennis Forsythe, "Rastafarians: Healing of The Nation." --Dr. Dennis Forsythe, author of Rastafari: For The Healing of the Nations ***************************************** "A book of wisdom and joy which will truly bring to light a better understanding of the people of Jamaica, Bob Marley and the Rastafarian way of life." --Sirron Kyles, Executive Producer, Annual Bob Marley Festival Tour ***************************************** "Rasta Heart is an engaging, earnest tale of a "simple family vacation" which turned into a life-altering journey and quest into the way of life known as Rastafarianism. Roskind ventures past the barriers of tourism and false-Rasta "wolves" into a series of encounters with the truly faithful. Lovers of reggae who are curious as to what Rastafarianism might mean to non-Jamaicans--and, yes, to non-Jamaicans of any skin color--can use this as both a vicarious journey and even as a tour guide, as the names and contacts of many of the good people Roskind met and interviewed, and of the recommended places he stayed at or visited, are included here. The poverty, confusion and contradictions of modern Jamaica are explored and, while solutions remain elusive, this is a heartfelt exploration of the questions." --Steve Heilig, "BEAT" Magazine ***************************************** "I wish you all the success with this excellent book and your endeavors in Jamaica. I thank you again for writing this book about love. It will guide many to a better understanding of Jamaica and Rasta and was much needed." --DJ BIG JIM SNIDOW, KUCI 88.9FM, Irvine, California ***************************************** "Thought provoking...truly inspiring." --The 2002 Reggae Festival Guide ***************************************** "A journey to a place that is not easily found...it will teach you many things." --The Jamaica Star REVIEWS FROM OUR READERS "Hey, I'd like to thank you for writing Rasta Heart. I used to be violent and have a short temper, but with your book I've changed my life. I cut out all violence from my life and changed my ways. I've changed my life and reached a higher high for my spirit. I have also been doing good deeds for people and showing love to every one. I'm 15 now and finished your book about two to 3 weeks ago and I've done a lot of changes. Thank you, one love, Chris" ***************************************** "Visiting a friend of mine last week, he insisted that I borrow and read your book. I loved your book. Your narrative is heartfelt, heartical and what Peter Tosh might have termed "scientifical." I am the consultant to the original House of Blues (Cambridge, MA) "Reggae Greats" series, now about to begin our sixth year. You are to be congratulated. Kevin J. Aylmer, Jamaica Plain, MA" ***************************************** "It was truly inspiring! I read your speech at the Gathering of the Healers.
