Give Me a Word: The Alphabetical Sayings of the Desert Fathers

"It is wonderful to see these gems of spiritual wisdom, worked out in the fourth-century Egyptian desert, appearing in the first new English translation for forty years. John Wortley, who has already published extensive translations of other desert literature, has produced a marvelous lively, and readable translation, faithful to the original. It is sure to bring the great spirit-bearing fathers to life, across the centuries, for many readers today." ~ Fr John Behr Paperback: 323 Pages Publisher: St. Vladimir's Seminary Press ISBN: 9780881414974 Product Dimensions: 5 x 7 x 1 inches
