The Way of the Ascetics is a rich, compact introduction for modern readers to the Eastern Christian spiritual tradition that has been an inspiration to millions for centuries. These compassionate and insightful reflections on self-control and inner peace are meant to lead the readers to fuller union with God. The author makes a generous selection of succinct yet profound extracts from the spirtitual Fathers and provides and illuminating commentary and practical applications for daily devotion and practical applications for devotion. He tempers austerity with warmth, and even humor as he urges us on our journey toward God. Written for laypersons living fully in the world as much as for clergy, Way of the Ascetics is an excellent resource for daily meditation, authentic spiritual guidance, and revitalized religious life. Please note: It is always recommended that spiritual literature be discussed with your spiritual father or mother, or father confessor (or book discussion!).
