Holy Daring by Tessa Bielecki
Tessa's deep intimacy with Teresa of Avila . . . creates an invitational space for readers of any tradition (or none) to enter into their own transformational relationship with the 'wild woman of Avila.'--Mirabai Starr
This fresh, upbeat, and deftly profound book joyfully reconnects the fullness of our lives and the depth of our prayer. Much more than yet another book about a great saint who once was, it actually rekindles something of St. Teresa's outrageous spiritual impulse for contemporary readers, particularly those who describe themselves as spiritual, not religious.
Tessa Bielecki is the author of several books on St. Teresa of Avila, as well as a former Abbess.
Tessa Bielecki and Fr. David Denny have worked together for almost forty-fiveyears. They beganas Carmelite monks atthe Spiritual Life Institute in the desert of Sedona, Arizona, where they co-edited Desert Call magazine and gave retreats and workshops. At Colorado College they taught Fire and Light: A History of Christian Mysticism and Desert Spirituality: from the Middle East to the American Southwest. They left monastic life in 2005 and created the Desert Foundation (see www.sandandsky.org) and now live in neighboring hermitages near Crestone, Colorado, in the spirit of the Christian Mothers and Fathers of the desert. Tessa recorded Wild at Heart: Radical Teachings of the Christian Mystics for Sounds True, and is the author of three books on St. Teresa of Avila, most recently Holy Daring. Fr. Dave has served as chaplain for Image journal's Glen WorkshopsandSeattle Pacific University's writing residencies. He raises funds for Cross Catholic Outreach, a relief and development ministry for the poorest of the poor. Both authors are currently working on their memoirs. They co-authored Season of Glad Songs: A Christmas Anthology, and continue to teach on Christian mysticism, desert spirituality, and the contemplative life at retreats and workshops around the world.
