The early Christian monks of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine were the
spiritual heroes of their age--fleeing the security of civilization
for the desert, where they sought God in lives of prayer,
contemplation, and radical simplicity. This book is a portable
collection of their teachings, and those of their contemplative
contemporaries, ranging from the fourth through the eleventh
centuries. It is arranged to the traditional model of three
ascending "books" "Praktikos" (practice), "Theoretikos" (theory),
and "Gnosis" (knowledge). Each book consists of 100
"sentences"--aphorisms or thoughts. Each sentence is intended to be
read and meditated upon for an entire day--just as the monks
themselves might have done as they went about their work.
