“An Outlaw Makes It Home bares it all in this rapid-fire compilation of adventures…a serious quest for spiritual wisdom and enlightenment with a startling turn in his heartwarming discovery after an eighteen-year search. Jaxon-Bear does not spare himself or try to polish his flaws and mistakes, and in that regard, he is a warrior. I consumed this book in huge gulps and would do it again. I urge others to read it.”

— Peter Coyote, Emmy award winning actor and author of The Rainman’s Third Cave

“…A coming-of-age story, a modern journey of self-discovery, but also a classic hero’s journey, an odyssey, and a return home…Eli takes us from a shattering moment in his Brooklyn childhood through radical and sometimes terrifying times in the sixties, his escape to Peru and later travels in Japan, Morocco, and India … all leading to his waking up and discovering what home truly is. His honesty about fear and failure are moving, but what really shines forth in these pages is a fierce love and commitment to the truth.
I absolutely loved his story!”

— Nancy Baker, Zen Roshi and Professor of Philosophy Emerita at Sarah Lawrence College
