{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-the-desert-jason-byassee-9781597525305","title":"An Introduction to the Desert Fathers","description":"The desert fathers wanted to get away from a church co-opted by empire and a Christian faith grown cold and listless. They retreated to the desert to do battle against demons and against their own worst desires. They had no intention of being famous; yet ironically their Sayings have inspired millions of imitators over the centuries. This guide is meant to accompany a reading of the Sayings of the Desert Fathers, in hopes that readers with lives quite different than those third- and fourth-century dwellers of the Egyptian desert might nevertheless come to imitate their lives of poverty, chastity, and obedience; and more importantly, that readers might grow more imaginative and passionate in their following of the same Lord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Byassee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597525308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597525305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.29w x 0.30d","brand":"Jason Byassee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938561982719,"sku":"9781597525305","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d9702f68-7597-4a7f-b207-c981ea41aaad.jpg?v=1681436422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-desert-jason-byassee-9781597525305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
