Enlightening, profitable, edifying, inspiring – a few words to describe this collection of lives and sayings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, those early Christians who forsook the world to work out their salvation in the deserts of Egypt and Palestine. Challoner’s rendition of these works is refreshing in its style, making it a joy to read and hear. (Summary by a LibriVox Volunteer)
