City of Prayer

 In City of Prayer: Rachel Srubas offers readers a collection of reflections inspired by the wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, the Abbas, and Ammas.  Through the wisdom of these desert Christians illuminated by Srubas's powerful narrative, readers will ponder such themes as solitude and perseverance, illness and humility. They will be inspired and challenged, comforted and sustained.  Neither academic nor pietistic, this book is candid intelligent and compelling.

Racel M. Srubas is a Presbyerian clergywoman and oblate of St. Benedict.
