My spiritual director, Abbot Jerome Kodell, recommended this little book to me at a time when I felt I had read everything. The desert fathers and mothers brought me back to life with their wisdom. Every person needs this book and will find treasures in it. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0824518187, Paperback)

The Christian hermits, ascetics, and monks of early history had deep insight into the nature and aspirations of humankind. Drawing on their experiences in the cloisters of the desert they became sought after mentors, teachers, and spiritual guides. This book is filled with poignant wisdom stories relating their message to modern daily life.
