In this book, Amy does an excellent job walking you (literally and figuratively) through the journey all of us are on. The book explores each of our movements from death to life, with all their fits and starts. I love how she moves away from an abstract description of Mary of Egypt (in true biography fashion) to a personal journey where she learns just as much about herself in the exploration. In doing that, the reader is paid dividends with their own form of self-insight. As in her other works, Amy's insights and meditations on desire, in particular, are worth receiving. Highly recommended!
