Description
“Drawing on that rich but often neglected source, the lives of the saints, their book provides us with a representative selection of models, of icons in words, to encourage us on our own journey to the kingdom, whether we are married or not…. What is striking first of all about the examples chosen is their diversity. They are spread in time across nearly four thousand years, from the Old Testament era up to our own day. In space they extend no less widely: from Persia in the east to Alaska in the west, from Egypt in the south to England in the north.” … told in a simple but vivid style
—His Eminence, Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia
