Don Evans share his tenderness and vulnerability with us with real courage but what is also contagious is his naked delight in unfolding new discoveries possible in a long, inwardly rich life.

Through Don's rigorous self-examination of the central themes in his life - spirituality, sexuality, community, healing, and perhaps the sweetest of all, his return to music late in life, we are privileged to be invited into a brilliant man's inner process.

For me reading your book was an intimate journey alongside your journey, intrigued and fascinated, and deeply moved by your pain, your joy, your awakening, your revelations. You've inspired me to look further into myself.

Layer upon layer of personal experience woven with impeccable discernment and discipline... delivered with the lightness of a feather and yet, as if the Author is listening to the reader before the word reached the page in its writing.

I was at times very moved and at others energized by Don's deeply personal account. It is inspiring how his spiritual reflections are completely unique, and yet resonate so profoundly in my heart, and I suspect in the hearts of so many. Electrifying reading.

Reading Don's gritty, complex and multi-layered journey is a bit like peeling off one bandaid after another. Every wound is exposed, raw, and yet the healing is irresistible and compelling.

With searing honesty and a wealth of life-experience, Don Evans shares his life-journey with us. He is true to his words, "It is my responsibility to remain open to further transformation..." for Don courageously travels much further than most soul-seekers into uncharted, taboo territories that others avoid. The book is an invitation to venture further than the safety zones of our own small lives, to examine, as Don does, our personal wounds as soul-making in a wounded world.
