I grew up a fundamentalist Christian. But by early adulthood, I realized I could no longer believe I was basically evil, or that Jesus needed to pay the penalty for my sin. For me, that was not good news. Then in the early 1980s I met Thomas Keating at St. Benedict's Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado. A winter-long retreat with him transformed my life. He helped me see that my true self is rooted in God, and gave me a contemplative prayer practice that enabled me to drop into the depths of that reality within me. Afterward, I felt called to develop a way of living the monastic life in the world, with a family, a career and a love of wilderness. Over decades of studying the mystics, I reworked every teaching I'd received as a child, finding in the contemplative tradition a Christianity that is warm, liberating, and radically inclusive. This book is a record of that quest.
