A Mad Desire for God: My astounding journey with a Modern-Day Spiritual Master

Like Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love, Karen’s spiritual journey embodies the desires, passions and independence of a modern woman. And like Thomas Merton’s The Seven Storey Mountain, it is a journey into the depths of the soul’s quest for God. Born into privilege, Karen Tenney built a life as a successful therapist and businesswoman. Her world was radically changed when destiny led her to the feet of a powerful and loving spiritual master who awakened in her a deep longing for love, fulfillment and union with God. Soon an extraordinary relationship unfolded between Master and disciple, taking Karen to the limits of letting go and the heights of spiritual ecstasy. In 2012 a diagnosis of inoperable brain cancer forced Karen to face her own mortality and begin preparing herself – and her family – for her death and conscious departure. Two years later a miraculous recovery gave her a second chance at life, and the opportunity to continue pursuing the spiritual freedom she longed for.
