It has been requested by someone close to me that I read a book on Desert Monastic Wisdom. I was told that it was available by Saint Nektarios Press in WA but upon searching their site it seems the book is Temporarily out of Print. Just my luck.
THE PARADISE OF THE FATHERS
The lives and sayings of the early monastics of the Egyptian desert. A classic work on monasticism and Christian life. Vol. I contains the complete life of St. Anthony the Great by St. Athanasius and lives of scores of other monastics; Vol. II contains their sayings. 2 volumes Paper $33.00
(sold in sets only) TEMPORARILY OUT OF PRINT.
Any one seen this book anywhere else or know where or how to get my hands on it? I've looked at Amazon, BN.com, other Orhodox Christian online stores and it seems noone else has this book. I emailed the Press and asked them if they had an idea of how long they will be out of stock for but we shall see. Even if someobe has a copy and is not reading it and is willing ot allow me to borrow it for a while and I will pay for shipping and mailing, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help in this,
