Sylvia Dickey Smith’s wilderness wandering started in 1981 when her father died suddenly and unexpectedly. For several years, she felt abandoned by the God that she had faithfully served for decades, both in the U.S. as the wife of a pastor, and on the island of Trinidad, West Indies as a foreign missionary. Later, as the healing came, she made an important discovery. Wilderness is a mighty sacred place. In “Sacred Lessons from Wilderness Wandering,” she shares with the reader a few lessons she learned along the way.

About the Author Sylvia Dickey Smith believes in the tremendous power of story. To her, story is that thing that connects us one to the other. It gives us something to hang onto while we find our way through life. It defines who we are, what we stand for, and often what we absolutely will not stand for. Within the process of storytelling, she says, we find our voice.
