A Mad Desire for God:

My astounding journey with a modern-day spiritual master

Born into privilege, Karen Tenney built a life as a successful therapist and businesswoman. Her world was radically changed when destiny led her to the feet of a powerful and loving spiritual master who awakened in her a deep longing for love, fulfillment and union with God. Soon an extraordinary relationship unfolded between Master and disciple, taking Karen to the heights of spiritual ecstasy and the limits of letting go.

Diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer in 2010, Karen faced her own mortality and began preparing herself – and her family – for her death and conscious departure. Two years later a miraculous recovery gave her a second chance at life, and the opportunity to continue pursuing the spiritual freedom she longed for.
