Great listen

The lives of the saints show us the validity of the teachings of Christ and the Holy Spirit…Lord Have Mercy

How the life of the saints show the power of Christ which influences the feeble Christian minds today for growth!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for! What a lack of influence in the Chirch today to grow stronger in our walks and using our bodies as a living sacrifice. I say that because St Anthony encourages me and doesn’t cast doubt nor ridicule nor question the drive inside of wanting to consecrate my body or life to God.

This book also helped me understand the importance of the life and legacies the Saints leave behind for us acknowledging the fact that living a pious life and denying one’s self is possible with the help of our Lord, Jesus Christ. For in a world that is overrun with a secularized hedonistic culture, the depth of which St Anthony explains how important his walk was to him bring encouraging words of wisdom.

Now to live up to his standards of monastic livings is by far extreme, yet I need to hear these things so that I may start somewhere knowing that all things are possible through Christ!

Anthony's faith in the name of Jesus and his confidence that the devil is powerless against God's children is remarkable

This book is a true faith booster in the power of the name of Jesus. Must Read

In detail and concise

Interesting and in detail narration of the life of St Anthony. I have always wanted to read about the desert fathers. I enjoy it and I would look for more books on the desert fathers. Many details of Anthony’s teachings, it makes you wish you could try the desert peaceful experience of ‘life in the desert.’

An Amazing Story Of A More Amazing Man

Jim Ellis made St. Anthony’s life come alive in the 21st century, I love stories of the Holy Fathers and this is one of the best, St Athanasius gave wonderful tribute to his ally in Christian Orthodoxy.
