Inhaltsangabe

In the Bible the desert is a place of punishment and discipline, but also of blessing and love's reawakening. Both Jesus and the people of Israel before him spent time in the desert, learning what it meant to be chosen and loved and holy. Yet while the people of the Exodus frequently got it wrong, providing some cautionary tales for us to learn from, Jesus himself constantly got it right, offering a perfect model for us to follow. In The Way of the Desert Andrew Watson takes us on a Lenten journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day, from the parting of the Red Sea to Israel's entry into the promised land. Combining these Old Testament scriptures with insight from the gospels, he reveals the continuing relevance of the exodus story to all who would seek to follow Christ.

This new edition, published posthumously after Bishop Andrew’s death from pancreatic cancer, offers fresh hope in a world stumbling in the wilderness.

Andrew Watson is Bishop of Guildford, and author of The Fourfold Leadership of Jesus (BRF 2008), Confidence in the Living God (BRF, 2009) and The Way of the Desert (BRF, 2011), a Lent book. In a five-star review of the Confidence book, Christianity magazine writes of Watson's 'searching biblical investigation, revealing character portraits, lively anecdotes, relevant application and readable style', which make this 'an outstanding expository book which is anchored in the real world'.
