Helpers is a beautiful story for us all

Helpers by Nate Long “Owl” is a story that reaches beyond our humanity to the smallest grain of sand, or the tiniest drop of water, or an inkling of a new green leaf. We all want and need help sometimes. This book, in it’s beautifully simple storyline and stunning illustrations, offers hope and love in times of need, in times of fear, in times of doubt, helplessness, longing, lonliness, challenge.
This book teaches us to ask for help, for in this vast community and cosmos there are Helpers. Thank You!

Heart-touching books for young and old alike

This beautiful book tugs on the heartstrings, because we have all felt lost and alone. It may have been written as a children’s book; but I watch tears stream down the face of an adult as she read it. The illustrations are beautiful and reach right into your soul. The words and pictures captured and held the attention of my 4 year old grandson, who still has trouble sitting still and listening.

Wonderful addition to anyone’s bedtime reading library

This sweet little book is a wonderful addition to anyone’s bedtime reading library. It is especially relevant to children today, who are not as familiar or friendly with nature as we once were. It is a wonderful introduction to archetypes, and the kind of guidance from nature that we all can benefit from. I highly recommend it.

And she liked it

Helpers is a book for all ages. When I read it to my 5 year old granddaughter, she commented that the author was so creative to have a cave and tree talking. And she liked it. It opened up an opportunity for us to talk about what a helper is, and how they come in many forms.

Thank you for writing books about beautiful wisdom

Thank you for writing books about beautiful wisdom that is mostly lacking from children’s books these days. Your books allow for great talking/thinking points with kids. The drawings are beautiful and capture the kids’ attention.

Teague – age 10

I really liked this book because I believe helpers are everywhere. Everyone is a helper. I think I’m a helper because I help others by giving and being nice. My favorite part of the book is Sister Cedar helping the girl. She uses her branches to cover the girl which is super nice and I love Cedar trees.

I like this book cause Nate’s books are awesome. My favorite part is when the boy is in the water by himself and the girl glows behind him and he truly realizes what it means to all be related. All living and non-living things depend on each other. It helps us to learn to not be scared of things we don’t understand, like a scary snake or large animal.

an intuitive artistic expression of connection [Made Prayer]

[Nate] blends in a meaningful and accessible way, an intuitive artistic expression of connection to that which is greater than us and that which is imminently practical. In the process, he offers the opportunity to make any heartfelt desire into a physical expression of love and hope. In the process, he also offers a pathway to connect with our most ancient roots.

… the creative animistic path of the spirits [Made Prayer]

Nate Long’s Made Prayer book describes the creative animistic path of the spirits, a golden road that all true adventurers need to follow with a true heart.

a product of Nate’s service to individuals, groups, nature and the planet [Made Prayer]

This process is presented as a comprehensive approach based on significant personal experience and, may I say, service to individuals, groups, nature, and the planet. Nate illustrates and instructs, guiding the reader on a very deep process of artistic spiritual creation.

deep truth and authenticity shine forth from this book, this process, and sacred work [Made Prayer]

Made Prayer is beautiful in the truest meaning of the word – that a deep truth and authenticity shine forth from this book, this process, and sacred work. Nate’s dedication to his path, his
integrity, and obvious deep compassion radiates throughout this work. The Made Prayer practice he has developed provides a wonderful approach to sacred work, one that will hopefully
encourage and help others to find their way to developing their own relationship with this beauty-filled and sacred practice.

Gabrielle Tamaya, Artist

Nate is a talented artist, and his writings and drawings reflect his spiritual walk [Made Prayer]

Made Prayer is about honoring each person’s connection with what is being created and how we then discover the beauty in our creation. As the beauty is recognized, we then can understand this concept, and we begin to see our own work from this “Made Prayer” perspective.

Kay Musick, Spiritual Intercessor

I really loved reading this book [Made Prayer]

You have expressed in such beautiful language the process of spiritual art. I have worked through these steps in my own art but had never thought to describe the process in this way. You have defined through your words the depth of feeling that goes into all that I have created and continue to create.

Theresa Sóbhrag Pittman

Made Prayer is a journey of the heart toward a more prayerful and meaningful life!

Nate invites you to explore the anatomy of prayer and how it may show up in a very purposeful and effective way in a person’s life! There are so many practical, but powerful suggestions in this work to aid even those who haven’t had much of a spiritual foundation.
