Desert Fathers and Mothers: Early Christian Wisdom

Desert Fathers and Mothers: Early Christian Wisdom Sayings-Annotated & Explained (SkyLight Illuminations)

The desert fathers and mothers were ordinary Christians living in solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Arabia who chose to renounce the world in order to deliberately and individually follow Godâ€™s call. This probing and personal SkyLight Illuminations edition opens up their wisdom for readers with no previous knowledge of Western monasticism and early Christianity. It provides insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that describes historical background, explains the practice of asceticism and illustrates how you can use their wisdom to energize your spiritual quest.
