Publisher's Summary

Here is a powerful, life-changing book that will help you understand and conquer the struggles you face in your spiritual life. It's a book for those who love the Lord and desire holiness yet often feel adrift or stagnant in their search for spiritual growth.

All of us encounter valleys on our journey with the Lord—those periods of spiritual desolation that are a painful yet unavoidable feature of our prayer life. Spiritual desolation is as complex as we are, so understanding what is happening and responding to it properly are critical to reaching the heights of holiness.

With warmth and understanding, Fr. Gallagher carefully identifies in this book the various forms of spiritual and nonspiritual desolation and supplies the remedy for each. You'll learn how to discern whether your struggles derive from medical or psychological conditions or whether those struggles are spiritual and permitted by the Lord for reasons of growth. You'll also learn the forms of spiritual dryness and of the Dark Night—and how to respond to them.

Fr. Gallagher presents a particular struggle and then provides the advice he gives to those who come to him for spiritual direction about that struggle.

For Anyone Serious About the Spiritual Life

A thorough and fabulous review of the spiritual life for those actively undertaking it. The narration approaches cheesy at times, but it’s not bad—bear with it. This is a goldmine.
