Though these women may have been included by storytellers to provide a foil to the exemplary men in the stories' foreground, Wheeler demonstrates how women's persistence in places they were not welcome witnesses to truths about where wisdom may be sought and found. In this book, Wheeler allows these women's stories to critique the desert impulse that can create a spiritual life devoid of social relationships and responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Wheeler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814685005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814685006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Rachel Wheeler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042510500095,"sku":"9780814685006","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f70f22a6-cffa-48f6-9392-c4adf3c93845.jpg?v=1684961957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desert-daughters-desert-sons-rachel-wheeler-9780814685006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
