The spirituality of the Desert Fathers is really something to behold. On one hand, they are brilliant, and on the other, they're absolutely insane. I do wonder about the mental health of some of them, but at the same time, they are perhaps more grounded than I am. The sayings overflow with grace, but never permit evil or sin. Alone, they are still oriented towards community. Every Christian would do well to have a copy of this book. You will find ancient wisdom inaccessible in most modern churches.

Just full of stories, some of them likely exaggerated but interesting nonetheless. They have a tinge of ancient storytelling and give you a feeling of the type of Christianity that was around before the entire middle east was overwhelmed by the arabian desert tribes, guided by Mohammed. Some of the stories are very inspiring and some are a little silly. There is one where a monk digs up the dead body of a woman to whom he was attracted and keeps it in his room, saying to his self "SEE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!! YOU HAPPY? (paraphrasing)" And another one where a monk has a child with a woman, then takes it to show the other monks saying "SEE EVERYONE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET LUST OVERTAKE YOU?! YOU SEE??" Those are the first two that come to mind, and they struck me as a little silly. Another one has a monk burning all of his fingers off to avoid feeling lust for a woman who is trying to seduce him. Anyway, most of the stories are inspiring haha! I just have a tough time remembering the inspiring ones because the ones that are kind of silly stick in my mind a lot more. This is a nice book to get, it's conveniently broken up into different chapters that take around 20 minutes to read, so it is easy to just read a chapter a day or however you want to do it.

When I received this book it was in great condition. The book itself is put together in such a way that as you are reading the quotes of the desert Abbas and Ammas the questions you are having are answered. The sections are laid out well, and most of the time take you to where your thoughts need to go next as a result of the previous quote or story. The layout is very clean and easy to follow, and overall very helpful in reading such dense stories and quotes.

I'm loving this book! Very interesting and captivating. The introduction lays out the background needed to understand the context. Then with that context you can jump in a read the little sayings and stories and just glean so much perspective from the monks and brothers. Each story captures a real life issue people still live with today and give you then the insight from the monks on how to treat the issue. I'm really enjoying this book!

I have read many articles and books by Benedicta Ward. In fact, I used portions of this text when I was researching my doctoral dissertation; however, it is a great read for anyone who wants to know what the Abbas and Ammas had to say and how their words should be applied to our spiritual journey. I will read and reread this book!

I can't say enough good things about the selections in this book. Its like the book of Proverbs, in that it is a collection of often pithy (but sometimes paragraph long) sayings that are chalked full of wisdom. However, Benedicta Ward has arranged them topically, which is helpful. Like the biblical Proverbs, trying to read straight through the book would be like drinking from the fire hose. You really have to mull the sayings over, and you'll be glad you did. On occasion the sayings are quite strange and hard to apply, sometimes gross and overly self-deprecating, sometimes funny, but most of the time you feel that there is something deep and insightful to take away for yourself. There are also many stories of interactions between hermits or other community members, sometimes in conflict. The way they treat each other and solve their problems in humility is surely something we can learn much from today. And, if nothing else, the sheer devotion and self-discipline of the pious men and women described will stir your soul and inspire you. I can't recommend it enough.

A very interesting aspect of early Christian writings.

if you wanna return to a christianity where you have to grow, read this book. A huge focus on fasting, obedience, and charity. Try reading it and thinking about what you can apply to your life.
