Prologue: Tending the fire

Discovery in the desert: lost and found in a weary land

Stay in your cell: stability in practice

Pledge your body to the walls: stability in commitments and community

Wait in the womb: how hope transforms perseverance and fosters resilience

Relax the bow: how grace transforms our efforts

Let the silt settle: silence and connecting to the Source

Brace the wall: persevering amid doubt and disorientation

All smoke, all flame: the culmination of Christian resilience.
