When You're Feeling Spiritually Empty

Elf-Help Books

by Craig R. Wagner, R.W. Alley (Illustrator)

Our spiritual lives can become a struggle at times and leave us feeling "empty" or "dry." We then feel that God is distant, although nothing could be further from the truth. This helpful little book points to how God beckons you to deeper faith through spiritual "desolation," teaching you to surrender your self reliance.

About the author

Craig R. Wagner, O.S.B., is a former newspaper editor and reporter who experienced a spiritual awakening after the passing of his father in 2003. A native of Findlay, Ohio, he has left behind his 18-year career in journalism and is answering the call to become a Benedictine monk at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, where he is in formation as a novice. Knowing firsthand what it means to experience spiritual dryness as well as joy, he asks that we all pray for one another from God's love for each of us.
