It's a truth that we of the twenty-first century, most urgently need to learn in order to heal the experience of alienation that has become endemic to our age, and these odd and appealing ancient figures, surprisingly, hold keys to this healing."

The author breaks through our preconceived ideas of the Desert Fathers to reveal them in a new light: as true and worthy role models - even for us in our modern lives - who have much to teach us about dealing with the anxieties, uncertainties, and sense of isolation that have become hallmarks of modern life."--BOOK JACKET.
