Why do the Desert Fathers have so much to say to us? To answer this question, Sister Benedicta Ward presents some of the best and most illuminating stories and sayings from the desert. Readers will find spiritual wisdom, along with sharp humor and startling insight into human nature.

Desert Fathers

I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this little book. The amount of laughs as well as the deep insights from men and women who when read don’t seem so out of reach. They just lived different. As I read their stories and sayings I can honestly see myself enjoying their company and that we would be and will be and are great friends! All ye Saints pray to God for me a sinner!!!
