Movingly rendered and powerfully wrought, The Book of the Vision Quest is for all who long for renewal and personal transformation. It is a celebration of life and a marvelous testament to the ability of all people to take charge of their lives, heal themselves, and grow.

In this revised edition -- with two new chapters and added tales from vision questers -- Steven Foster recounts his experiences guiding contemporary seekers. He re-creates an ancient rite of passage -- that of "dying," "passing through," and "being reborn" -- known as a vision quest. It is a sacred ceremony that culminates in a three-day, three-night fast, alone, in a place of natural power. Blending numerous heritages, wisdoms, and teachings, the vision quest is a mystical, practical, and intensely personal journey of self-knowledge.
