A Season in the Desert: Making Time Holy

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating and informative excursion
Review: In A Season In The Desert: Making Time Holy, Paul Jones (hermit, Trappist monk, and Professor Emeritus of Theology at Saint Paul School of Theology) explores the concept of time in the Christian tradition, comparing the monastic rhythm of life with that of the secular world. Included are daily psalm reading for two weeks and daily monastic offices for devotional use. The final pages are exercises, question guides, and prayers that can be employed by readers as tools for personal spiritual direction. Highly recommended, engaging reading, A Season In The Desert is a fascinating and informative excursion into the meaning and nature of time, and its potential impact on daily life from a Christian perspective.
