About this book

Seeking a Purer Christian Life: Sayings and Stories of the Desert Fathers and Mothers (Upper Room Spiritual Classics. Series 3) by Beasley-Topliffe, Keith. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780835809023.

In the third, fourth, and fifth centuries, thousands of men and women moved in to the deserts of Egypt and Syria to seek a simple way of living. These desert dwellers wrote little, yet others told stories about them and wrote down their teachings. These sayings about prayer, spiritual disciplines, and living in community spread throughout the Christian world and became the foundation of monasticism. Available as a part of The Upper Room Spiritual Classics®, Series 3.
