"The old story had run its course and had given me all that it could. Now I was being called to give myself over to a larger story -- one I couldn't yet name, but could feel as a deep longing moving through every cell of my body."

I enjoyed this book. It speaks to the heart of every man who feels a deep inner longing to know himself and his place in the world.

Jastrab shares with us the experiences of many men who have undertaken the challenge to return to nature to learn, and encourages those who do so, to return from the quest and share what they have learned.

This book isn't a how-to guide, but it's worth reading...

Joseph Jastrab writes each paragraph like a poem. He beckons the reader into his world with a sense of love, courage and vulnerability. This book was the impetus for me to go on his vision quest many years ago. It has changed my life. It is easier for women to make deep connections than it is for men. As men we are hardwired biologically and societaly into a culture of competition and resulting loneliness.

Joseph's book can give a glimmer of the world available to men when we open our hearts. I have given this book as a gift many times and each reader was rewarded by its wisdom.
