Description
Desert Wisdom Sayings from the Desert Fathers offers a unique meeting of East and West, introducing the sayings of simple peasants who lived in the desert centuries ago. Their spiritual progress was marked by inner peace, self-control, poverty, patience, humility, and hospitality.
Translated and decorated with beautiful brushwork, their insights into the human condition and our relationship with God remain as relevant today as they were all those centuries ago. This collection of sayings provides a fresh perspective on Christian living and spiritual growth.
Yushi Nomura's translation brings these ancient texts to life, offering a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their faith.
