His early childhood recollections are heartwarming and charming but suddenly it all changed, his life unraveled before his eyes leaving him reeling in confusion and despair.

The various crises we experience in society and culture today, at their root, reveal a spiritual problem: a profound lack of meaning. The mystical truths revealed in scripture can surely help. “Entering the Desert”, introduces the listener to principles of awareness, deep listening, and contemplation as essential for “hearing” what Scripture has to say. Part Two details the importance of mystery and struggle in the process of healing from any past or present wounds. Part Three explores the “undivided heart” that is possible when we come to know God in silence and stillness.
