Description
The Desert Fathers' wisdom has been distilled into practical spirituality for the modern world. Born again in baptism, we receive the Holy Spirit to guide us towards spiritual perfection. However, the Bible provides guidance on how to achieve this, but not the methods themselves. In the Egyptian Desert, a community of seekers and sages developed a science of spirituality, which has been passed down through generations. Fr Athanasius Iskander draws upon these ancient teachings to offer wise instructions for applying spiritual principles to everyday life in the 21st century. This book provides a unique blend of traditional wisdom and practical advice, making it an invaluable resource for young Orthodox people seeking to deepen their faith and live a more meaningful life.
