Keepers of the Field: An Invitation to the Unitive Life

by Ross Hostetter

Keepers of the Field is a spiritual adventure story—the journey of a man-child named Charlie Smithson who decides to leave the pinnacle of success and risk it all to become a true man. Charlie is led deep into the wilderness by a guide named Moses, where he encounters the mysterious forces of ‘The Committee’, and is trained to become their messenger. He is then abandoned, and must go on alone toward an encounter that will either destroy him, or reveal the secrets of the Field.

I was raised in a small agricultural community in the American midwest. As a young man, I took 26 trips into the Canadian Wilderness, the rugged north country that became the earth of my novel Keepers of the Field. It was my great pleasure to have a long and distinguished career as a lawyer and mediator. My wife Mary and I now live in Boulder, Colorado with our three kids and a little dog named Tinker Bell.
