Insights from the Launch Team

Today is a rare audio treat. Those on my launch team for The Way of the Desert Elders who could make it to this gathering shared their insights about the book. I had chance, for the first time, to engage others in a group format, those interested in and supporting the book. Hear what they have to say and what my hopes are for readers. Thanks for your support.
