Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-29 00:00:00 Joseph Place I'm working my way through this with joy, tears, laughter, and timidity, for the end is drawing nigh all too quickly. Roberta Bondi frustrates me only in the fact that she is Professor Emiritus at the Candler School of Theology at Emory in Atlanta. If she remained there, I know where I'd be going back to school and whom I would be working to study with. A gorgeous, historically deep, and formationally thoughtful work concerning the understandings, thoughts, and praxis of the Desert Fathers and early Church. Recommended swiftly and without hesitation to those who desire to have a refreshed and vital newness in their thinking/prayer concerning humility, love, Christian perfection, and living this life as toward and in emulation of Christ.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-28 00:00:00 Mark Adams Amazing little book, that is super dense with history (breakdown of writings of the early Christians, many who lived in the dessert), theology and practical insights of truly living this Christian life. Best to be read slow and thoughtful. I often too quickly read through books on faith because they are often written in terms I've heard my whole life. This book caused me to slow down and consider what she was writing because it was a little different. Highly recommended, especially the part on humility and prayer including one of the best thoughts on historical and current views of Psalms.
