More than a decade after writing what was to become a classic of modern spiritual literature—When The Well Runs Dry—author Thomas Green returns to the “dry well” to share what the last ten years have shown him. In Drinking From A Dry Well he explores the dryness and finds there a spot where both mature pray-ers and active contemplatives “can be at home” and can learn to live gracefully “drinking from the dry well of prayer.”
As a spiritual director he is often asked if the dry wellthe dark nightis always a form of desolation. He responds that with good guidance, we all can “truly come to be at peace in the dark.” and it is this new challenge that he explores in this work.
