The Solace of Fierce Landsapes explores the attraction of wild terrain in the Christian mystical tradition, asking why forbidding desert and mountain landscapes serve so well in speaking to people of their limits. Belden Lane interweaves this historical account of desert spirituality with intensely personal accounts of his own journeys through both actual and spiritual deserts.
