Alan Jones distills the elements that made this fully orthodox way of inner transformation a unique and important part of the early church. Refreshingly readable and filled with rich insights, \u003cem\u003eSoul Making\u003c\/em\u003e draws together the spirituality of modern literature and elements of psychology. Jones shows how the desert way can become for any spiritual seeker a soul-stretching means of experiencing the \"wonder, mystery, and awe\" at the heart of the Christian faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJones, Alan W.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Alan W.
