Soul Making: The Desert Way of Spirituality Book

Good book about confronting the ambiguities and complexities of the spiritual life. I can't think of anybody who shouldn't read this. Jones grounds his perspective in the life of the ancient desert-dwelling monks who were confronted with their own personal difficulties regularly, but who also learned that by putting to death their fleshly tendencies, they were able to experience the true love of God and communal interdependence. This is a great book for any Christian who feels like their expression of Christianity isn't working, or isn't answering the deeper questions of their soul that keep dogging them. Alan Jones is a wonderful guide through this journey.
