Joyce Huggett draws upon the stories of these spiritual giants - Abraham and Sarah, Moses and Miriam, Elijah, the psalmists, Hosea and his wife, John the Baptist and Jesus himself - to explore how God worked mightily through them and how their experiences can be an inspiration for our own lives. Our wilderness need not be the physical desert - few of us have spent time in the deserts of Africa or the Middle East - but we may nevertheless experience its solitude, silence and struggle.
