The Desert Fathers and Mothers - those early Christian ascetics who
withdrew from the world to seek God - have influenced the spiritual
lives of many people, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Merton. Their
words, sometimes inspiring and uplifting, sometimes agonisingly
painful, sometimes humorous, always speak straight from the heart.
They resonate through the centuries because they tell the story of
the "deserted" soul in its pilgrimage from darkness to light, from
ignorance to truth, from sin to sanctity. This revised edition of
Father John Chryssavgis' fresh and vital introduction to the
spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers brings their words
to life and provides a key which unlocks their relevance for the
reader of today. It also features: * A preface by Sister Benedicta
Ward * A translation of the 'reflections' by Abba Zosimas, an early
Desert Father * 16 Colour photos and illustrations and a map of the
ancient Near East * A chronology of the most important Desert
fathers and Mothers * A full bibliography * A new extensive index
