These words from fifth-century bishop Palladius ring as true today as they did 1600 years ago. Palladius wrote of his visit to the deserts of Egypt where he spent a decade in conversation with some of the many men and women who lived in caves, huts and monasteries, seeking solitude for prayer and a life “alone with God alone.”
And now you can visit those same holy mystics and hermit. Through their own words, you will learn:
how they were able to make a complete offering of themselves to God
acquire great wisdom and insight into the spiritual life,
spread this great wisdom across the desert…and the world
and how you can bring their holiness and wisdom to bear in a busy world.
