Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the fourth century, men and women of the Christian church fled of their own accord into the deserts of Egypt, seeking lives of prayer and purity. This volume presents the collected wisdom of these spiritual seekers, known as the desert fathers and mothers. Selections in this volume include St. Jerome's The Life of Paul the Hermit and Athanasius' Life of St. Anthony. Encouraging humility, patience, prayer, and introspection, these desert monks teach today's readers that deep contemplative practice provides eternal wisdom for everyday life.
