This is no simple how-to book, but rather a profound challenge to consider a totally different kind of life. Lawrence Hart approaches these life changes from several different angles each leading to the deep kind of knowing that is God s gift to the true seeker. from the Foreword by Jean Dalby Clift For thousands of years, deserts have been geographical centers of spiritual formation and direct encounter with God. In Christian spirituality, men and women seeking the kind of purification that leads to wisdom of the heart have sought out the desert places.
