Part meditation, part affirmation, part inspiration, and a whole of instruction, Teaching in the Wilderness is a Godsend at the right time. With so much uncertainty in our world, the combination of spirituality, education, and life coaching provides a sense of guidance and security. Beekman has curated a selection of powerful, long withstanding lessons of life and his commentary, based on his unique perspective, to each one encourages the reader to keep turning the page.

“May Teaching in the Wilderness strengthen your heart, mind, and spirit in immeasurable ways that can powerfully equip and sustain your own labor of love, too.”
If we are willing to listen and learn, the Lord Almighty provides His children abundant counsel through the powerful and pervasive model of love that He has woven into the very fabric of the universe. Teaching in the Wilderness is evidence that author Demetri Beekman is a man whose journey as a human and leader in the field of education has revealed, shaped, and tested him in countless ways. Through the crucible of these experiences, Demetri has been provided timeless and often unforeseen lessons of love and service, fortitude and justice. I thank the Lord for people like Demetri who vulnerably share the wisdom gained through their walk over time as humble and earnest seekers. Further, I thank Demetri for joining the countless others throughout all time and place who made a similar decision to serve as the simplest of instruments in Our Lord's Almighty hand -- in this universal and eternal labor of love. May Teaching in the Wilderness strengthen your heart, mind, and spirit in immeasurable ways that can powerfully equip and sustain your own labor of love, too.
