Wilderness Spirituality

An awesome book on spirituality in present day. A helpful guide to finding your way through the morass of the modern world to a meaningful spiritual life. Romney's writing is rich and engaging, but always accessible and sincere...a rare combination. Highly recommended.

Romney is right on!

To me this book is a cross between a self help book and a guide to modern Christianity. Romney bravely goes where most Baptists have never gone before; into a realm of acceptance and true compasion. He explains in his book that getting closer to God is not about pointing your finger at the bad people, it's about not pointing your finger at all. This is a breath of fresh air to me as I am fed up with conservitive religion with all of it's dogma and predjudice. Hats off to Romney for showing us how to block out that negative propoganda from the religious right and how to look within for God. What I got most from the book was learning to quiet my mind, to get in touch with my own feelings, and how to promote peace from within.

Embracing Wilderness

The wilderness times in our lives seem frightening, desolate. Another mystic called them "the dark night of the soul." Dr. Romney has done a remarkable thing in this book in reviving wilderness as ancient metaphor for life, and offering an exploration that can "transform the wilderness of life from arenas of confusion and fear into places of emancipation and hope."It is extraordinarily rare to find a Baptist writer with the soul of a mystic. But the mystic tradition shines thru Romney's writing. If one is reaching the limits of the institutional church, and longs for that deeper life, this book can help one explore the wilderness -- to find that the path does bring us Home.

I have found my new montra for life

Dr. Romney takes you threw a new spiritual Journey via wilderness markers. These wilderness markers bring you closer to the earth and a new spiritual path.This book is full of open and affirming love for all, opening a personal spiritual life to those the church and society has often tried to take form those they feel are not worth God's love.
