The Wild Land Within

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In these pages, Lisa Colón DeLay charts a path toward wholeness, skillfully articulating the layers of distortion that limit our understanding, and calling us toward a transcendent, connected awareness beyond our cultural conditioning of empire mentality and exclusion. This is an incarnational, embodied wisdom, inviting us to reintegration through the diligent inner work of contemplative prayer and attentive listening to the wisdom of the forgotten and marginalized--from Evagrius Ponticus to African American and Latinx spirituality. In her writing and guidance through the inner terrain, DeLay bears the marks of genuine transformation from wound to love. This is a profoundly insightful, important, and illuminating work.”
