In this engaging novel of conversion and discipleship, a young man named Austin is drawn from comfort into a demanding journey toward holiness under the guidance of wise and challenging mentors. Through vivid adventure and thoughtful dialogue, the story unfolds a twelve-part path to union with God that mirrors the classic purgative, illuminative, and unitive stages of the spiritual life. Drawing from the wisdom of Benedictine, Carmelite, and other spiritual traditions, it explores healing from weakness, perseverance in virtue, the centrality of Confession, and surrender to God’s will. Accessible yet rich in depth, this imaginative tale invites readers to embrace their own pilgrimage toward sanctity.
