The Hermitage Within: Spirituality of the Desert 1999 A Monk Paperback Very Good

Cistercian Publications, 1999. Trade paperback of The Hermitage Within: Spirituality of the Desert by A Monk.

The desert, the mountain, and the temple provide the focus of the anonymous author's reflections. He meditates on the wilderness experiences of such biblical persons as Jesus, John the Baptist, and Mary Magdalen. He considers the place held in the Christian story by Mount Sinai, the Mount of Olives, and Calvary. He ponders the idea of temples, using such images as our inner temple and Christ the temple, the foundation of the Church.

Very Good. Previous owner's name to the bottom of the half-title page. Nice book with light shelf wear.
