"These stories from the desert become stories for all of us who seek God with a sincere heart." -From the Introduction by Henri Nouwen
This delightful meeting of East and West introduces the sayings of the desert fathers and mothers, simple peasants of the fourth and fifth centuries whose spiritual progress was marked by inner peace, self-control, poverty, patience, humility, and hospitality. "Translated and decorated" by the brushwork of Yushi Nomura, their insights into the human condition and our relationship with God remain as fresh to Christians today as they were all those centuries ago.
