You are invited to encounter the spiritual formation book I wrote called The Wild Land Within (my first book with Broadleaf Books)

⭐️What is a Patron? Here are the DETAILS:

Patron supporters chip-in a bit each month to help me offset my expenses so I can continue creating. Supporting this way (at $5 +) entitles you to many posts, perks, and goodies that unlock once you begin.
