Formed by the Desert

The desert is an unforgiving and dangerous place and one few would enter by choice. And yet a recurrent theme in the Bible is that some of the key characters bound up with the history of our faith were shaped by just such a place. And so too, it is, with us. Drawing upon the stories of the likes of Abraham and Sarah, Moses and Miriam, Elijah, the psalmists, Hosea and his wife, John the Baptist and Jesus himself, Joyce Huggett explores how God worked through them and how their lives can be a true inspiration for our own. The desert is a place of formation and transition, of revelation, new beginnings, miracles and grace. And in it we can encounter a God who will truly transform us.
