Focussing on monasticism, its history, practice, and relevance to contemporary life, this book combines a detailed and informative exposition of the Christian monastic tradition with the story of a spiritual journey from despair and alcoholism to faith and redemption, via an ashram in India, Buddhism, academia and reality TV.
