World Wisdom 2008 Revised ed. Paper Back New ''Why another book on the spirituality of the desert monastics? '' this reviewer wonders aloud. Maybe because, as the preface states, ''The Desert Fathers possess the imprint of eternity, '' which implies not only longevity but also the comprehension of truth and beauty and goodness. That's why reviewer Belden Lane comments ''The resolute honesty of an Ed Abbey, the prophetic freedom of a Wallace Stegner, the profound love of a Charles de Foucauld-these were the qualities of the Desert Christians who thrived in Egypt and Palestine. '' These desert fathers and mothers continue to birth and nurture spiritual children who need their honesty and compassion, their austerity and their humility. Fr. John Chryssavgis believes ''the hermits who lived in that desert tested and studied what it means to be human-with all the tensions and temptations, all of the struggle beyond survival, all of the contacts with good and the conflicts with evil. '' He's compiled an excellent introduction to their lives and their sayings with commentary that preserves the freshness of their strange but vital way of life. Chryssavgis has also translated the Reflections of Abba Zosimas, for the first time in English, and includes a helpful introduction to the work. To the reader he offers these words: Be neither ''overly impressed nor even greatly distressed...he reader is supposed to catch alight, to catch afire. It is critical to remain open enough to be ...

ISBN10: 193331656X, ISBN13: 9781933316567, [publisher: World Wisdom Books, United States] Softcover 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
