Description
With the practical aim of guiding brothers at his monastery in the wilderness of northern California, Fr. Seraphim Rose set out to select and translate these counsels of two of the Desert Fathers of 6th-century Palestine. He found that many of the questions posed to these great saints are not unlike those asked by Christian strugglers today, and their answers cut right through common fantasies and misconceptions.
