Desert Fathers (14 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Built from the ancient Apophthegmata Patrum, this manuscript gathers the Desert Fathers' and Mothers' unforgettable words--brief, piercing, and practical--then presents them not as a directory or topical handbook but as a chronological story. Readers meet the earliest hermits, walk into the communities of the Egyptian desert, and follow the tradition as it spreads through upheaval into places like Palestine and Sinai. Along the way, short biographies and vivid anecdotes ground the wisdom in lived experience, while the sayings themselves offer a bracing spiritual medicine: humility without self-hatred, silence without isolation, obedience shaped by discernment, prayer that returns again and again when the mind wanders. The result is not merely a reference collection, but a guide for anyone longing to rediscover the "ancient paths" and practice a faith that becomes steady, tender, and real. A modern-language journey through the Desert Fathers and Mothers, arranged as a chronological pilgrimage with short biographies and luminous sayings on humility, prayer, silence, mercy, and discernment--wisdom that meets today's restlessness with clarity, courage, and a steady call to divine communion. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
