The stories and examples of these desert fathers and mothers are recorded for us. And their lives still speak by as they teach us: * To embrace the disciplines of solitude, silence, and prayer; * To pursue humility, generosity, and unity in rich relationship with others; * To develop a keen eye for wisdom; and * To lay down our rights for the good of others. The desert fathers and mothers found a way to live radically, humanly, and beautifully in a spiritually desolate and confusing time. So can we. Streams in the Wasteland is for all those who thirst for a better way, the radical way of Jesus amid the desert of our age.
