About this listen

 Here is the modern classic that interweaves the solitude, silence, and prayer of the fourth- and fifth-century Egyptian Desert Fathers and Mothers with our contemporary search for an authentic spirituality.

Previously recorded by Henri Nouwen as Desert Spirituality and Contemporary Ministry.

Perfect

Not a word wasted Unlike many contemporary books where the author belabours the point; repeating the same idea over and over in case we didn’t get it the first time, this is a book to be read in a contemplative frame of mind and heart, listening deeply, not just trawling the text for surface meaning.

It is also perfectly placed to impart wisdom at this particular moment in history, when we are in such a pickle.

A book that you should read

This book is 5 star.

Henri Nouwen writes in this book how when we follow a life set in solitude, silence and prayer we give ourselves the best opportunity to find peace in life.
