Who are we, and where are we going? These are no two questions of greater importance.

In Athirst for the Spirit: Biblical Wisdom for Desert Times, biblical scholar Nina Sophie Heereman approaches these questions with the eternal insight of Sacred Scripture. The seven essays included will answer what the Bible teaches about the meaning of our gender—and in particular, the Spirit-bearing mission of woman—and how we are to journey through the desert of this life.

Athirst for the Spirit reveals God’s reason for creating man and woman, as well as the Church, and how the Bible provides a path through the time of tribulation in which we have been graced to live.
