The dream of going to California tugged at Will throughout his childhood on a Missouri farm in the 1850s. After a move to Wisconsin with his family, he is eventually able to start west with his young wife Anna. The adventures of this growing family are shared by many who choose to answer the call of homestead lands waiting to be earned by their labor. Though it may sound like an invitation to paradise, it sometimes becomes discouraging. Bad weather, hostile neighbors, plagues and infidelity were not what one expected in the promised land, but sometimes have to be dealt with. Following these families as they deal with adversity forms a heart-tugging narrative and involves the reader in the lives of the women and men who lead the way.

What expectations did the women and men living in early monastic communities carry into relationships of obedience and advice? What did they hope to achieve through confession and discipline? To explore these questions, this study shows how several early Christian writers applied the logic, knowledge, and practices of Galenic medicine to develop their own practices of spiritual direction. Evagrius reads dream images as diagnostic indicators of the soul's state. John Cassian crafts a nosology of the soul using lists of passions while diagnosing the causes of wet dreams. Basil of Caesarea pits the spiritual director against the physician in a competition over diagnostic expertise. John Climacus crafts pathologies of passions through demonic family trees, while equipping his spiritual director with a physician's toolkit and imagining the monastic space as a vast clinic. These different appropriations of medical logic and metaphors not only show us the thought-world of late antique monasticism, but they would also have decisive consequences for generations of Christian subjects who would learn to see themselves as sick or well, patients or healers, within monastic communities.
