Soul Making - by Alan W Jones (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A leading spiritual writer invites Christians to discover "the desert way of believing"--experiencing the "barren yet beautiful terrain" of the heart, where we find the clearest wellsprings of faith and the possibility of revelation, conversion, and transformation.

From the Back Cover

A leading spiritual writer recovers "The Desert Way of Believing" -- the spiritual pathway discovered by early Christian monks who lived in the Egyptian desert that is still relevant to Christians today. Alan Jones distills the elements that made this fully orthodox way of inner transformation a unique and important part of the early church. Refreshingly readable and filled with rich insights, Soul Making draws together the spirituality of modern literature and elements of psychology. Jones shows how the desert way can become for any spiritual seeker a soul-stretching means of experiencing the "wonder, mystery, and awe" at the heart of the Christian faith.
