his Contemporary Christian Folk album combines American Roots Music and Celtic melodies with Christian lyrics and inspiring messages. Reuniting Pat with Mary LaPlant, (violin and viola) Bill LaPlant, (mandolin) and Frank Carmelitano, (classical guitar) The Wilderness Within is a compellation of Pat's original Christian compositionswith new pieces that include the title cut, The Wilderness Within, and He Is The Vine.

The Wilderness Within is the journey of an "everyday man"guided by The Word and the Holy Spirit. Joy-filled and peaceful from start to finish, this album is both thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting.
