What if you’re in a season of numbness, fogg, desolation and due to that you’re doubting yourself, your life, your faith and God?

How to navigate such desert moments in your life? That’s the topic of this book.

Our culture stimulates newness, fabulous experiences and lots of shiny objects along that road.

There are a lot of churches that center and praise newness of faith, magnificent experiences and fast paced tempo on their stage and in their services.

By that they (maybe not on purpose) hide away from dullness (or completely ban it). While boredom, doubt and dryness keep occurring in faith and life in all ages.

How is it possible to learn about perseverance and resilience if almost anything that has to do with drought and boredom is being erased from your surroundings?

This book pleads for incorporating and embracing the search for habits and practices that nourish resilience. By looking at people that went before us.

A book for our culture and generation. A manifest against burnout society, that weaves the wisdom of the desert fathers and mothers and many other thinkers and writers into a blanket of hope and contemplation.

It encourages you to stay in your place, embrace moment of silence and solitude, craft forms of resilience in your life. Also this book gives you heaps of ideas for furthermore reading about this topic. As the bibliography is excellent as is the source mentioning in the book.

Truly insightful read when you want to deepen your roots in faith.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Convergent books for providing an e-arc in exchange for my honest opinion.
