The way of life of the fourth-century Desert Fathers, with its emphasis on solitude, silence and unceasing prayer, has inspired many modern spiritual writers. Why have these Fathers, whose lifestyle is so very different from ours, had so much to say, not only to monks and nuns but also to lay people? Sister Benedicta Ward answers these questions by presenting some of the best and most illuminating stories and sayings from the desert. Readers will find much spiritual wisdom, along with some sharp humour and a startling insight into human nature.
