A Methodist in a Monastery (Will McKinney series) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Driven to seek solstice in a Benedictine monastery, Will, a psychotherapist of the Methodist faith encounters various obstacles to peace and quiet while attending a course in spiritual direction at a charismatic Catholic Benedictine monastery. During his escape from the egoism of the world, he encounters various realities that counter his expectations and challenge his beliefs about God, religion, and the nature of humankind. Revolted by certain personalities and ignoring the warnings of his subconscious, he naively believes he is safe in an environment that threatens his very soul. A behind-the-scenes look at the inner functioning of a monastery, this story provides an unauthorized look of the decay, poverty, sexuality, dysfunction, and faith of a real place in an unbelievable situation. Set in the mountains of northern New Mexico, individual relationships and daily hikes with breathtaking scenery sustain Will until the final day of the retreat when all hell breaks loose with an explosive scene that disrespects the reverence of the moment.
