Reviews

"A rare and well-conceived foray into Christian mysticism." —Publishers Weekly

"McGuckin has lit on the brilliant idea of rescuing the Desert Fathers' and Mothers' sayings in simple free-verse form, which emphasizes the compression and power of their wisdom. This book will make a welcome addition to the renewed interest in early Christian ascetics." —Library Journal
