Crossing the Desert: Learning to Let Go, See Clearly, and Live Simply

Robert J. Wicks, noted psychologist and author of bestsellers Riding the Dragon and Everyday Simplicity, delivers this paperback edition of Crossing the Desert, an insightful guide on how the wisdom of the ancient desert monks can help contemporary readers grow in personal freedom and authenticity.

Dr. Wicks offers a psychological perspective on the early Christian monastic movement of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, using their wisdom to guide readers toward humility and freedom. In the same way the desert sages never gave answers, but always asked questions, Crossing the Desert presents readers with four desert questions that will lead them to take steps to inner freedom.
