From Out Of The Desert: Finding Myself

by Jan Peregrine

This book combines my old religious poetry with retrospectives and my new humanist section of my spiritual autobiography. I couldn't find a desert landscape I liked for the cover, but found this image of wind power coming out of perhaps a desert. It also is about traveling a modern-day path and finding your way in the world. I would like to think my book encourages such exploration as in the quote by T.S. Eliot found on the back cover. I've been heavily influenced by works written by the philosopher Morris Berman, including Wandering God: A Study of Nomadic Spirituality and The Re-enchantment of the World. I hope to enchant you as well with my intimate journey.
