Chapter 7 | Desire of the Everlasting Hills

The Nomadic Monk

On a four-day backpacking excursion, Fr. Nathan Sparks follows a raging mountain river upward to its snowy source high in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana. As he enjoys sweeping mountain views, explores waterfalls, and catches fresh mountain trout, he reflects on the restlessness of the human heart and how God draws us to himself through our desires.
